series."

_GLOBE_.--"Eloquent and sparkling."

_SPECTATOR_.--"The monograph is in all respects worthy of the
admirable series in which it appears."

_PILOT_.--"In asking Mr. Dobson to undertake the book, the
publishers have certainly found the best man for the task ... Mr.
Dobson is too well known and esteemed a craftsman to need fresh
praises, and it is enough to say that here is another book of his as
good as the rest."

JEREMY TAYLOR. By EDMUND GOSSE.

_DAILY TELEGRAPH_.--"It is right that so great an ornament to our
Church should have fitting commentary in a modern series dedicated to
the history of English letters, and Mr. Gosse's little book worthily
and eloquently expounds his high theme."

_ACADEMY_.--"A worthy monument to one of the greatest of Anglican
divines."

_MORNING POST_.--"His profound and brilliant study of Jeremy
Taylor's life and writings."

ROSSETTI. By ARTHUR C. BENSON.

_TIMES_.--"A very good book, full of well-chosen, facts and of
discreet sympathy with a character that needs a good deal of
understanding."

_PILOT_.--"Mr. Benson displays not only a delicate sympathy, but
a penetration and a sanity of judgment that enable him to put before
us not merely a plausible, but a convincing portrait of a man who
twenty years after his death, in spite of changing fashions,
exercises, as in his own day, a strange and potent spell over the
imagination."

MARIA EDGEWORTH. By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS.

_GUARDIAN_.--"Miss Lawless is to be congratulated upon having
produced what is very nearly the ideal life of Maria Edgeworth. Within
little more than two hundred pages she has included all necessary
facts, and has achieved a living presentment of a most estimable and
lovable character."

_STANDARD_.--"Miss Lawless has drawn a most acceptable portrait
of a delightful woman."

_GLOBE_.--"A memoir of great interest."

HOBBES. By Sir LESLIE STEPHEN, K.C.B.

_TIMES_.--"One of the most remarkable additions to the 'Men of
Letters.'... The admirable judgment and remarkable knowledge of Sir
Leslie Stephen have rarely been seen to more advantage than in these
pages."

_GLOBE_.--"Valuable little work."

_PALL MALL GAZETTE_.--"One of the happiest examples of Sir
Leslie's marvellous success in making biography unfailing in its
interest."
