CHURCH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

Dean Plumptre's' Dante.'

Vol. I. Life. Hell, Purgatory.

Vol. II. Paradise, Minor Poems. Studies. 'It is conceived in the lofty and generous spirit of a true scholar. Nowhere will the cultivated English Christian find so much help as this work will give him in understanding and enjoying the message of Dante to men. We have said that the Dean "stands on his achievement." It is no unwort by pedestal.'- RECORD.

New Edition Revised and Enlarged. Future Retribution, viewed in the Light of Reason and Revelation. By the Rev. C. A. Row, M.A., Author of The Bampton Lectures on Christian Evidences' &c. Demy 8vo. 128.

'A very valuable book which will bring out in a very strong light to all careful readers the remarkable discrepancy between the reticence of Scripture and the confidence with which ecclesiastical literature has treated the subject. We feel very thankful to Mr. Row for stating the question plainly, and making its direct bearing on our faith in the justice of God as clear as he does.'-SPECTATOR.

By the Bishop of Rochester.

The Yoke of Christ. Ninth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 58.

CONTENTS:-Marriage-Illness-Letter-Writing - Friends -Money-The Loss of Friends.

Preachers would do well to follow his example, and let criticism and science alone for awhile. The six essays which make up the volume are the ripe fruit of twenty years' meditation, and they have the "nuttiness" of age about them.'-SATURDAY REVIEW.

The Gospel of Christ. Fifth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 48. 6d.

May well take its place amongst the classics of experimental religion.'-RECORD.

The Claim of Christ on the Young. Third Thousand. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.

We commend the work as both time'y and of remarkable value.'-CHURCHMAN.
