-interest in the
United Kingdom."--_Derby Mercury_.
"This excellently got-up work will strike a cord of sympathy in the
bosoms of all who are interested in the works of Christianity and
philanthropy. . . . Should find a place upon every book-shelf because
its contents are of thrilling interest. . . . The book is essentially a
statement of facts, and no one can peruse its pages without feeling the
impulse of the living spirit which breathes in this 'Cry of the
Children.'"--_Potteries Examiner_.
"Mr. George Smith has, in his 'Cry of the Children from the Brick-yards
of England,' raised issues too serious, and advanced pleas too
passionate, to be treated with indifference."--_Daily Telegraph_.
"In the present volume, which contains a number of excellent woodcuts, we
have gathered up the full story of the evils which used to prevail, which
in the hands of a person of less moral courage and perseverance than Mr.
Smith would have failed."--_Leicester Daily Post_.

Life of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.
"A carefully prepared story of the public life of Mr. Gladstone in the
several spheres of politics and literature. It would be well if similar
books to this were as sensibly compiled. It is a handy and useful little
book, honestly worth its price."--_Christian World_.
"Written with great fairness and impartiality, as well as with
considerable literary ability. It furnishes the reader with a key to the
study of that which is undoubtedly one of the greatest characters of
modern times. We can hardly conceive of a more useful political
publication at the present moment. It is clear, pains-taking, and
dispassionate. We commend it to the favourable attention of
all."--_Leads Mercury_.
"Those who desire to know what Mr. Gladstone's life has been, and what
are the objects to which he has devoted himself, what have been the
growth of his political mind and the tendency of his political conduct,
will do well to get this book. It is neatly and simply written, and
contains a great many facts which have a bearing even beyond the life of
its subject."--_Scotsman_.
"No one can read this book without advantage. The author has presented
Mr. Gladstone in a manner easily recognisable by friends and foes alike.
