(This volume contains two out of the four books of which the work con

sists. "Catholic Thoughts" was printed for private circulation in 1841.)

"For all who care to know what an eminently wise and good man thought concerning the ideal relation of Church and State, the baseless fabric of Apostolical Succession, the metaphysical impossibility of legitimate authority in the sphere of spiritual truth.... and concerning the future of the Church, to be united, not in the acceptance of any dogmatic system, but by the love of Christ and Christ-like lives, the Catholic Thoughts' will become a valued and permanent possession."-Spectator, xlvii. 80.

2. Catholic Thoughts on the Bible and Theology, ("Present Day Papers,") Lon., 1874, 12mo; new ed.,

1878.

"The author's teaching on the relation of the Bible to Christianity and Hebrew Monotheism is even more sugges tive and more valuable than his conclusions, profound as these are, on the relation of the Church to the individual Christian."-Spectator, xlvii. 1035.

Myers, Frederic William Henry, b. 1843, at Keswick; son of Rev. F. Myers, supra. 1. Saint Paul, Lon., 1867, 12mo; new ed., 1879. "This poem, though written in stanzas, is in its essence dramatic. From first to last it is a pure soliloquy, in which St. Paul is made to express his sense of his own unworthiness, his deep repentance, and his attitude of devotion and faith towards his Master. . . . Into St. Paul's character, however, into his motives, and into his various men tal transitions, Mr. Myers has not sought to enter. Не simply presents us with a record of emotions. These are sometimes expressed with no common power of music and of diction."-Ath., No. 2105.

2. Poems, Lon., 1870, 12mo. 3. Wordsworth, ("English Men of Letters,") Lon., 1880, p. 8vo.

"Mr. Myers, assisted by some valuable unpublished documents submitted to him by friends of his own and of Wordsworth's, has given an excellent account of the poet's life, such as it was, and a running commentary on his principal works."-Sat. Rev., li. 214.

4. The Renewal of Youth, and other Poems, Lon., 1882, p. 8vo.

"Many of the poems are enigmatical, not to say mystical, in utterance, they are cultivated and refined in style. and the most important are deeply charged with that burden of sadness which is a very marked characteristic of the age. The highest gifts of poetry they can scarcely claim. Nothing that can be called imaginative or creative, and little that is in any full sense dramatic, appears in Mr. Myers's pages. The poems have, however, marked felicity of thought and expression; the illustrations employed are appropriate; the style, though elaborate and ornate, is poetical; and the whole entitles its author to a place with 1162

those whose statues are in the portico of the House of Fame."-Ath., No. 2885.

“Amusingly and pleasantly written."-Sat. Rev., xl. 332. "It is graceful and agreeable,-it is what one would call a gentlemanly book....

Mr. Nadal may not be particularly helpful as a critic of politics or of literature, but he is delightful as a painter of landscape and figures."—Ath., No. 2855.

"Mr. Nadal's English is simple and straightforward, and no one can read the whole book without meeting with a good many trains of thought or suggestions that will make him feel that his time has not been thrown away.. Mr. Nadal makes up for his occasional suggestiveness by writing a vast amount of rubbish."-Nation, xxxv. 142.

"In all the now somewhat extensive library of Arctic exploration there are no more luxurious volumes than these, and few half so good."-Ath., No. 2640.

Any narrative of a Northern expedition in which adventure is rare and hope is out of the question must be reading that can exhilarate no mortal. Thus Sir George Nares's book is necessarily, by the very circumstances of read the extracts from the journals of the leaders of sledgethe case, not a very lively work.... It is impossible to form the most interesting part of Sir George Nares's narrative."-Sat. Rev., xlv. 762.

"His [Napier's] letters have not been preserved, or at any rate have not been collected; but the familiar outpourings of the habitual writers in the Review,' with occasional letters from less frequent contributors, remained with Mr. Napier, and a selection from this correspondence has now been published by his son.... It must be owned that most readers will find that the chief amusement they derive from these miscellaneous letters consists in the very free criticisms which some of the writers bestowed on the articles appearing in successive numbers of the Edinburgh.'"-Sat. Rev, xlviii. 53.

"To the surviving few who recollect the earlier years of the Review'... it will require no recommendation beyond its title: to the present generation it will be interesting by affording a glimpse behind the curtain of scenes to which some have heard enthusiastic allusions in the talk of their seniors, and a nearer personal view of some of the giants of the early part of this century than is perhaps to be found even in the well-written biographies of many of them which have appeared."-Spectator, lii. 1162.
