"Men who cite the names of such speculators as Eigel and Fichte in the pulpit, generally make a sorry business of preaching. But it is not so with Mr. Hood. He is neither cold nor trifling; he is always grave and earnest. He spares no pains to compel his readers to understand and to realise what he designs to communicate. His reason, his imagination, and his passions are all in vigorous action, ands his manner is perhaps adapted to a coming state of thought and taste in regard to what preaching shoulde be. Certainly these are very able discourses of their kind.-British Quarterly Review. IN THE PRESS. Demy 8vo. GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES. By JOHN GROSSMITH. Crown 8vo. Price 2s. 6d.

"A feature in this magazine are the political sketches by Mr. Ritchie. This month we have Lord John Russell photographed from the life. The amount of readable matter which is interspersed with the engravings is far beyond the proportion which might be expected in a periodical of the peculiar description of the "National,' which exhibits practised editorial skill."-Illustrated London News. "The National Magazine' contains a great variety of light and amusing articles--so many, indeed, that we can only find room to advert to some of the most prominent."-Morning Star. "The National Magazine' contains good biographical articles on Lord John Russell and the Rev. Charles Kingsley."-Literary Gazette. "This comes fairly under the denomination of a Christmas number, and both letter-press and illustrations claim praise. The Burial of Harold' is a fine specimen of wood-engraving, and in other respects the part is almost all that can be wished."-Weekly Dispatch. "Mr. Ritchie is improving the National Magazine,' not only by the vigour and ability of his own articles, but by the more careful attention which is paid to the details-literary, artistic, and mechanical-of the publi cation."-Sunday Times. "The National Magazine' for the present month contains a number of short and very readable papers. We consider it at least equal to its competitor, Once a Week,' both as a pictorial and literary work. Among other papers that we have read with considerable interest is the graphic pulpit of the Rev. C. Kingsley."-Critic. London: W. KENT & CO., Paternoster-row. |
