"Sleeps the future , like a snake enrolled . Coil within coil . " —VoitrsvmRTir . . OPINIONS OF THE PBESS . MrEKAKT GAZETTE . "If anyone wishes to hear all the difficulties , political , social , andreligious , which have ever occupied and perplexed his miud , cleverly and temperately discussed , let him read 'Thorndale . ' - . . It would be extremely difficult to Rive our readers a full and . satisfactory idea of tlae scope and object of ' Thorndale . ' It is metaphysical , but the metaphysics . are taught iu the coiicrete rather than in the abstract . The several schools of thought ^ irhich prevail amongst us are represented by the lives and ^ sonversationa of Thorudale and his friends . " XOHITBTJXIi . / 'Even toihe most practical there are many facts of our time discussed which cannot fail to possess interest , and on which the author ' s views are clear , logical , and useful . Iho great questions connected with the theological philosophy of our day are but slightly touched upon ; but the history of Cyril , and that chapter especially in his-experiences wliich is headed' A Mental Conflict , ' indicates a keen power of analysis as regards ethical truths , and will furnish many a reader with the materials of deep reflection . "We may add that throughout the / whole work there is a devout and earnest spirit wliich dees oiot . constitute its least recommendation . " ¦ ¦'¦¦ : STECTATOE . " Great elegance of style , much nice perception , and some dramatic exhibition of character , with thoughts very frequently both new and original , constitute the literary merit of the book . " ^ VESLETASr TIMES . "We have an . originality of thought , an elegance of expression , and n , selection of subjects not to toe easily surpassed . We would add that the style- of narrative as well as the matter narrated , renders this book the most entertaining which has , for some time past , come under our notice . " ¦ ' ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦• . - . ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' AT 1 A . S . ' ' ¦ ' ¦' . ¦ " ¦ ¦ ¦ : ¦¦ . ¦ . " The book teems witli beautiful snatches of writing , the descriptions recal forcibly . the- style of the late John Sterling . ^ ; . . Mr . Smith has produced a chaste , pure , and lovable volume—one not to be rim over or skimmed , but to bo reflected upon with , a frequent forefinger resting often between its pages . " ... . ¦ ¦ ' ¦' ¦¦ ¦'¦ ¦ . . XEADER . . . " " ¦ . ' ¦'¦ ' " ¦ .- ¦ - . ¦ "We have been much pleased with ' Thorndale . ' It is remarkable as a philosophical . study . The writer thinks foi himself , and says what lie thinks . He is familiar also with the large range of conflicting opinions in our own times and sets them fairly in order of battle , without distortion or suppression . Such a book must necessarily ha , ve a salutary eifect . " EDINBTTKGH ADVERTISES . " This is a book wliich cannot fail to make a sensation . Original in thought , and iiusurpassably beautiful in style , it moreover deals with topics and opinions which possess a lasting interest for the luunan mind . " ATKADVEEIISEE . " It is a repertory of fine thouglits finely expressed , of beautiful sentiments draped in language almost as pure and ethereal as themselves , and of remarks keen , striking , and profound on most of those topics which , engage tile attention at some period or other of our lives . " DUNDEE ADVJJETISER . " This is the most thoughtful book that has lately fallen into our hands , and a book that will gratify many thoughtful men .
