ways interesting and
picturesque.--_Manchester Courier._

Literary Byways.

An interesting volume.--_Church Bells._

A readable volume about authors and books.... Like Mr. Andrews'
other works, the book shews wide, out-of-the-way reading.--_Glasgow
Herald._

Turn where you will, there is entertainment and information in this
book.--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._

An entertaining volume.... No matter where the book is opened the
reader will find some amusing and instructive matter.--_Dundee
Advertiser._

The Church Treasury of History, Custom, Folk-Lore, etc.

It is a work that will prove interesting to the clergy and churchmen
generally, and to all others who have an antiquarian turn of mind,
or like to be regaled occasionally by reading old-world customs and
anecdotes.--_Church Family Newspaper._

Mr. Andrews has given us some excellent volumes of Church lore, but
none quite so good as this. The subjects are well chosen. They are
treated brightly, and with considerable detail, and they are well
illustrated. The volume is full of information, well and pleasantly
put.--_London Quarterly Review._

Those who seek information regarding curious and quaint relics or
customs will find much to interest them in this book. The
illustrations are good.--_Publishers' Circular._

Curious Church Customs.

A thoroughly excellent volume.--_Publishers' Circular._

We are indebted to Mr. Andrews for an invaluable addition to our
library of folk-lore and we do not think that many who take it up
will slip a single page.--_Dundee Advertiser._

Very interesting.--_To-Day._

Mr. Andrews is too practised an historian not to have made the most
of his subject.--_Review of Reviews._

A handsomely got up and interesting volume.--_The Fireside._
