BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
THE BOOK OF ISAIAH. Vol. I.
Chaps. I.—XXXIX.
Spectator.—"This is a very attractive book. Mr. George Adam Smith has evidently such a mastery of the scholarship of his subject that it would be a sheer impertinence for most scholars, even though tolerable Hebraists, to criticise his translations; and certainly it is not the intention of the present reviewer to attempt anything of the kind, to do which he is absolutely incompetent. All we desire is to let English readers know how very lucid, impressive, and, indeed, how vivid a study of Isaiah is within their reach—the fault of the book, if it has a fault, being rather that it finds too many points of connection between Isaiah and our modern world, than that it finds too few. In other words, no one can say that the book is not full of life."
Saturday Review.—"He writes with great rhetorical power, and brings out into vivid reality the historical position of his author."
Record.—"He is always reverent and thoroughly Christian in his exposition. He gives us models of exposition. They are full of matter, and show careful scholarship throughout. We can think of no commentary on Isaiah from which the preacher will obtain scholarly and trustworthy suggestions for his sermons so rapidly and so pleasantly as from this."
Prof. T. K. Cheyne in "Academy."—"Here is a well-trained critical scholar coming forward to help preachers and ordinary readers to a truer comprehension of their Scriptures. In all essentials this new expositor has succeeded. His work is in every sense mature, and shows a thorough comprehension of the problem."
British Weekly.—"Isaiah is for the first time made perfectly intelligible to the people; and not only is he made intelligible, but he is reproduced and connected with so much of modern life as virtually to give him a resurrection in all his original power.... Mr. Smith has at one stride taken his place at the head of living expositors, and opened out a new line of work in which, perhaps, few will be found able to follow him, but which will do more than many arguments to reconcile a timorous and misguided public to scientific scholarship and the newer criticism. This may seem extravagant praise. We are quite confident that those who are most familiar with the exposition will be the readiest to endorse it."

"Seldom have I read a more fascinating volume."—Echo.
"A most valuable storehouse of facts and original documents about Mackay.... Few more engrossing or impressive works have ever been issued than this simple account of a pioneer missionary."—Record.
"Very interesting biography."—Times.
SIR GEORGE BURNS, BART.: HIS TIMES AND FRIENDS. By Edwin Hodder, Author of "The Life and Work of the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, K.G.," "The Life of Samuel Morley," etc. With Etched Portrait by Manesse. Now ready, 8vo, cloth, price 14s.
"Mr. Hodder, who is well, and in many respects favourably known by his biographies of Lord Shaftesbury and Mr. Samuel Morley, has found an equally congenial theme in the life of a man who had not a little in common with these two eminent philanthropists."—Times.
"The wonderful story of his rapid and remarkable rise from very small beginnings to the position of one of the greatest shipowners and philanthropists of the age is narrated compactly, discriminatingly, and skilfully. The volume abounds with racy anecdotes and interesting incidents relating to business men, literary men, ministers, philanthropists, scientists, soldiers, and statesmen with whom Sir George Burns was on terms of personal friendship."—Scotsman.

"Elmslie was too remarkable a man to be left without a memoir. He was too bright and genial a spirit to be buried in a ponderous biographical sarcophagus. Dr. Robertson Nicoll may be heartily congratulated on having produced a 'speaking portrait' of his friend. The presentation of him is, indeed, dramatic, with its keen strokes of characterisation, its rapid action, its bright succession of scenes, and the success with which it enables the reader to realise the man Elmslie, his achievements, his springs of action, the atmosphere and sunshine of his life, his speech, and almost, it seems, his play of feature."—Scotsman.

"One of the most impressive and suggestive books on religion that we have read for a long time."—Spectator.
ROMANCE OF PSALTER AND HYMNAL: Authors and Composers. By the Rev. R. E. Welsh, M.A., and F. G. Edwards, Author of "United Praise." Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"This is a most interesting book, written with admirable taste, and though some of the sketches of Glasgow low life are almost painfully realistic, they are not in any way sensational, and are saved from being dull and depressing by the touches of genuine pathos and humour which abound throughout."—Glasgow Herald.
London: HODDER & STOUGHTON, 27, Paternoster Row.
WORKS BY THE REV. PROFESSOR A. B. BRUCE, D.D.
1. THE MIRACULOUS ELEMENT IN THE GOSPELS. 8vo, cloth, price 12s.
"Dr. Bruce once more gives us a volume of great value. There is no living Apologist in whose hands the Christian faith is so safe."—Presbyterian Messenger.
"It displays minute acquaintance with the modern literature of the subject, and all forms of attack to which Christian belief in the supernatural has been subjected. The defence is able all round; and the closing chapters—in which the miracle implied in the character of Jesus is dwelt on, and where the defence is for a moment changed into attack—are full of spirit and fire."—Methodist Recorder.
"A valuable apologetic work, which will be a useful weapon against rationalism, and one which should be in the library of every minister."—Ecclesiastical Gazette.
2. THE CHIEF END OF REVELATION. Third Edition. In crown 8vo, cloth, price 6s.
3. THE PARABOLIC TEACHING OF CHRIST: A Systematic and Critical Study of the Parables of our Lord. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 12s.

UNTIL THE DAY BREAK, and Other Hymns and Poems Left Behind. By Horatius Bonar, D.D. Crown 8vo, cloth, red edges, price 5s.
"There is not one we could have spared; while there are several of which it may safely be predicted that they will become universal favourites."—Christian Leader.
"All of them have merit as verses, and breathe a pure and sweet spirit of Christian piety."—Scotsman.
"A prettier gift book we could not recommend."—Rock.
London: HODDER & STOUGHTON, 27, Paternoster Row.
WORKS BY REV. PROF. MARCUS DODS, D.D.
1. THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 7s. 6d.
"Full of earnest pleading for reality in religion, and of an intelligent interest in modern social problems."—Guardian.
2. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. Third Edition. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, price 2s. 6d.
"Each book is the subject of a separate chapter, the volume being really a series of introductions to the several Gospels and Epistles. The authenticity, authorship, history, object, and general character of each are discussed with admirable condensation and lucidity, and with ample critical knowledge."—Scotsman.
3. THE BOOK OF GENESIS. Fourth Edition. 8vo, cloth, price 7s. 6d.
"The style of the book is so simple, the march of the thought so strong and unencumbered, and there is in the ripe result such a perfect assimilation of varied erudition, that none but fellow craftsmen will realise the amount of study, industry, and many-sided ability that was requisite to produce it."—Professor Elmslie, D.D.
4. THE PARABLES OF OUR LORD. First Series. The Parables recorded by St. Matthew. New Edition. Sixth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 3s. 6d.

"Expositions of marvellous clearness and insight."—Glasgow Herald.
6. ISAAC, JACOB, AND JOSEPH. Fifth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 3s. 6d.

"His discourses are rich in thought, are lighted up with a vivid imagination, and glow with the fire of imagination. Young men will be charmed with the book."—North British Daily Mail.
II.
THE MAKERS OF MODERN ENGLISH. Crown 8vo, price 5s.
"Mr. Dawson has evidently made a careful study of his subject, and has read widely and with considerable range of sympathy. His work contains a good deal of really useful and unpretending information, likely to be of considerable service to the readers whose wellbeing he has at heart; and with this is combined a sound and appreciative judgment which ought not to be unnoticed."—Guardian.
THE LIVING CHRIST AND THE FOUR GOSPELS. By R. W. Dale, LL.D. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 6s.
"Characterised by Dr. Dale's usual breadth of view, strong common sense, and clear, forcible style."—Manchester Examiner.
"As a man of culture and eloquence he has put the case strongly and well, and it will not be surprising if his book, which is not written, he tells us, for Masters of Arts, but in the first instance for members of his own congregation, and then for all ordinary people who take an interest in such matters, should be the means of convincing many that the assumptions sometimes made about late origin of the Gospels, etc., are utterly unfounded."—Scotsman.
"Dr. Dale has enriched theological literature with many volumes full of the strenuous thinking of a man thoroughly alive with the life of his time. He has given us one or two volumes which will be read when the problems of this present time have been forgotten; but he has given us nothing which is more likely to be helpful, both to his own and to future generations, than 'The Living Christ and the Four Gospels.'... Its publication is a most helpful sign of the times. It will bring light to many who have been feeling their way. It will encourage many to speak out. It will help to dissipate the mists begotten by spurious Protestantism, and to show us where we are and what the ground is that we stand upon. A more significant or a more valuable book has not appeared for many a day."—Professor Marcus Dods, in the "British Weekly."
