"It is the worthy aim of the novelist to show that even the trials of genius are part of its education-that its very wounds are furrows for its harvest. . . . The merits of this story consist in its fine purpose, and its thoughtful, and for the most part just, exposition of man's inner life. To those who, chiefly appreciating such qualities, can dispense with the stimulants of incident and passion, the book before us will not be unacceptable."-Athenaum.

The design is to show how, in spite of every obstacle, genius will manifest itself to the world, and XI. give shape and substance to its beautiful dreams and fancies. It is a very pure and delightful composition, is tastefully produced in an antique style, and retains in the translation all the peculiarities (without which the book would lose half its merit) of German thought and idiom." -Britannia.

"Few writers are bolder, but his manner is singularly considerate towards the very opinions that he combats-his language singularly calm and measured. He is evidently a man who has his purpose sincerely at heart, and indulges in no writing for effect. But what most distinguishes him from many with whom he may be compared is, the positiveness of fact is as he sees it. His book appears to us to contain many just and profound views of the religious character of the present age, and its indications of progress. He often touches a deep and fruitful truth with a power and fulness that leave nothing to be desired."-Prospective Review, Nov. 18-19. "It contains many passages that show his doctrine.

"In a calm, dispassionate manner, and in a style peculiarly elegant, and, at the same time, argumentative, the momentous questions of revelation, Christianity, and a future state are discussed. There is no dogmatism, no assertion, no arriving with an undue haste at irrelevant conclusions in its pages; but there are to be found all the evidences of profound study, scholarship, much reading, more thinking, and certainly there is every indication of sincerity and truth.

"No candid reader of the Creed of Christendom' can close the book without the secret acknowledgment that it is a model of honest investigation and clear exposition; that it is conceived in the true spirit of serious and faithful research; and that whatever the author wants of being an ecclesiastical Christian, is plainly not essential to the noble guidance of life, and the devout earnestness of the affections." -Westminster Review.

Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 6s. P. 6d. Professor Newman has kindly permitted Mr. Chapman to print the following letter addressed to him: "Mr. Leigh Hunt's little book has been very acceptable to me. I think there is in it all that tenderness of wisdom which is the peculiar possession and honour of advanced years. I presume he regards his book as only a contribution to the Church of the Future, and the Liturgical part of it as a mere sample. I feel with him that we cannot afford to abandon the old principle of a 'public recognition of common religious sentiment;' and I rejoice that one like him has taken the lead in pointing out the direction in which we must look.
