Formerly Minister of Row.

The Nature of the Atonement, and its Relation to
Remission of Sins and Eternal Life.

"This is a remarkable book, as indicating the mode in which a devout and intellectual mind has found its way, almost unassisted, out of the extreme Lutheran and Calvinistic views of the Atonement into a healthier atmosphere of doctrine. We cannot assent to all the positions laid down by this writer, but he is entitled to be spoken respectfully of, both because of his evident earnestness and reality, and the tender mode in which he deals with the opinions of others from whom he feels compelled to differ."-LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

A very genuine, thoughtful, and interesting book, the work of a man of honest mind and pure heart; one who has felt the pressure of religious difficulties, who has thought for himself on the matters of which he doubted, and who has patiently and piously worked his way to conclusions which he now reverently but fearlessly utters to the world."-NONCONFORMIST.

Essays, Biographical and Critical: chiefly on English Poets.

CONTENTS.

8vo. cloth, 12s. 6d.

1. Shakespeare and Goethe-II. Milton's Youth. III. The Three Devils Luther's, Milton's, and Goethe's.-IV. Dryden, and the Literature of the Restoration.-V. Dean Swift.-VI. Chatterton: a Story of the Year 1770.-VII. Wordsworth.-VIII. Scottish Influence on British Literature.-IX. Theories of Poetry.-X. Prose and Verse: De Quincey. "Mr. Masson has succeeded in producing a series of criticisms in relation to creative literature, which are satisfactory as well as subtile,-which are not only ingenious, but which possess the rarer recommendation of being usually just . . . But we pass over these Essays to that which is in the main a new, and, according to our judgment, an excellent biographical sketch of Chatterton... This' Story of the Year 1770, as Mr. Masson entitles it, stands for nearly 200 pages in his volume, and contains, by preference, the fruits of his judgment and research in an elaborated and discursive memoir. . . Its merit consists in the illustration afforded by Mr. Masson's inquiries into contemporary circumstances, and the clear traces thus obtained of Chatterton's London life and experience. . . Mr. Masson unravels this mystery very completely."-TIMES.

Distinguished by a remarkable power of analysis, a clear statement of the actual facts on which speculation is based, and an appropriate beauty of language. These Essays should be popular with serious men.”—THE ATHENEUM.

The Restoration

of Belief.

Crown 8vo. cloth, 8s. 6d. "A volume which contains logical sagacity, and philosophic comprehension, as well as the magnanimity and courage of faith, in richer profusion than any other work bearing on religious matters that has been addressed to this generation. The Restoration of Belief' may, in many respects, take a place among the books of the nineteenth century, corresponding to that justly conceded by us to the Analogy' of Butler in the literature of the last age, or to the Thoughts of Pascal in that of the age preceding.”—NORTH British Review.

To

very valuable and interesting work. . . . The practical and scientific man will
be able to judge of its importance when we say that the promises held out in the
Preface are fulfilled in the most painstaking, clear, and accurate manner.
the professional man, we should imagine, Mr. Latham will have rendered invalu-
able service by this book. We have no hesitation in saying that it is a work
of the greatest value, not only to professional men as an aid to practice, but to
the world at large, as tending to reduce the science to mathematical accuracy,
and so lessen the chance of accident."-DERBY MERCURY,
