ARMSTRONG & SON’S LATEST PUBLICATIONS.
I.
Life and Speeches of John Bright.
By G. BARNETT SMITH.
2 Steel Portraits, 1 vol., crown octavo, 708 pages, $2.50.
The London Times says: “This work will be welcomed by a large number of readers. The author has taken great pains to make the work at once accurate and full. He has evidently had access to private sources of information, for he gives accounts of Mr. Bright’s personal life that it would otherwise not have been possible to give.... He has followed his subject through all the steps of his career.”
London News: “It is, in one sense, a history of England during the last half century.”
II.
THE NATURE AND FUNCTION OF ART.
By LEOPOLD EIDLITZ.
1 vol., octavo, 510 pages, $4.00.
“Mr. E. is a writer of remarkable strength and originality. His book may be classed as one of the most valuable contributions to Art Literature published during the last decade.... The work deals with the subject so broadly that any reader of artistic tendencies will find a fascination in its pages.”—Boston Evening Transcript.
III.
HISTORY OF RELIGION IN ENGLAND,
From the Opening of the Long Parliament to the End of the 18th Century.
By JOHN STOUGHTON, D.D.
6 vols., crown 8vo, $15.00. Comprising:
- I. Church of the Civil Wars.
- II. Church of the Commonwealth.
- III. & IV. Church of the Restoration.
- V. Church of the Revolution.
- VI. Church in the Georgian Era.
“There is no need to eulogize Dr. Stoughton’s learned research, impartiality, thoughtfulness, picturesque style, and thorough appreciation of the religious, political, and social life of the 17th century. The monographs of individual lives are simply charming. The characters, sketched with discrimination and vigor, seem to live and move before us. The human actors and their surroundings can be realized as distinctly in these pages as in any of the brilliant climatic passages of the elegant Macaulay.”—Christian World.
IV.

A Collection of Analyses, Arguments, Applications, Cautions, etc., for the use of Preachers and Sunday School Teachers.
By Rev. G. S. BOWES.
1 vol., 12mo, 438 pages, $1.50.
V.
Uniform with our Standard Edition of Hallam, Lamb, Disraeli and Michaud’s Crusades, a New and Handsome Library Edition of
MILMAN’S COMPLETE WORKS.
With Table of Contents and full Indexes. Printed from large type, on laid, tinted paper, in 8 vols., crown 8vo, strongly bound in extra cloth, price, $12.00 per set (reduced from $24.50). Comprising:
- HISTORY OF THE JEWS, 2 Vols.
- HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, 2 Vols.
- HISTORY OF LATIN CHRISTIANITY, 4 Vols.
Dr. Milman has won lasting popularity as a historian by his three great Works, “History of the Jews,” “History of Christianity,” and “History of Latin Christianity.” These works link on to each other, and bring the narrative down from the beginning of all history to the middle period of the modern era. They are the work of the scholar, a conscientious student, and a Christian philosopher.
VI.
Armstrong’s Primer of United States History
FOR SCHOOL AND FAMILY USE.
1 vol., square 16mo, with 6 beautifully-colored Maps, from original drawings. Price, 50 cents.
“A model historical primer, full in its statements, discriminating in its selection of events, clear and direct in its style, and comprehensive in its general outline of American affairs. The value of such a book is apparent at a glance. Of large histories of the United States there is no lack, but of shorter histories there is great need. A work of this character, thoroughly trustworthy in its statements, is of almost equal importance to the young student and to the general reader. It represents an amount of work of which its brief pages give no adequate impression. To condense, and yet to omit nothing essential to the complete statement of events, requires the fullest command of the subject and the most intelligent understanding of the mutual relations of all the facts involved. The writer of this primer was well qualified for his task.”—N. Y. Christian Union.
