--_Standard_. "This volume, like all Dr. Macmillan's productions, is very delightful reading, and of a special kind. Imagination, natural science, and religious instruction are blended together in a very charming way."--_British Quarterly Review_. OUR LORD'S THREE RAISINGS FROM THE DEAD. Globe 8vo. 6s. "His narrative style is pleasant, and his reflections sensible."--_Westminster Review_. THE MINISTRY OF NATURE. Seventh Edition. Globe 8vo. 6s. "The author exhibits throughout his writings the happiest characteristics of a God-fearing, and, withal, essentially liberal and unprejudiced mind. Of the Essays themselves we cannot speak in terms of too warm admiration."--_Standard_. "We can give unqualified praise to this most charming and suggestive volume. As studies of nature they are new and striking in information, beautiful in description, rich in spiritual thought, and especially helpful and instructive to all religious teachers.

Upwards of a hundred pages of new matter have been added to this new edition, and eleven new illustrations.
