THE LETTERS AND JOURNALS OF ROBERT BAILLIE, Principal of the University of Glasgow, 1637-62, and one of the Commissioners from Scotland to the Westminster Assembly. Edited from the original MSS., with Memoir, by David Laing, Esq. (_Only a few copies now remain_.) "The Letters abound in allusions to the ecclesiastical affairs of the period, and in characteristic sketches of the most prominent leaders of the several parties who were then struggling either for ascendancy or for life."--_Eclectic Review_. "We give it no small praise when we say there is, perhaps, no book of that period which will in the end better reward the trouble of reading."--_Westminster Review_. * * * * * In 3 vols. royal 8vo., cloth, price 1l. 11s. 6d. THE PRESBYTERIAN'S ARMOURY, containing the works of George Gillespie, Rutherford's "Lex Rex, or the Laws and the Prince," Brown's "Apologetical Relation," Calderwood's "Pastor and Prelate," &c. "We have already expressed a high opinion of the style in which these works have been got up, and the works themselves are of such a standard character, that they require no encomium from us to recommend them."--_Witness_. |
