OPINIONS OF THE PHESS . X . ITEUAHY GAZETTE . "If any-one wishes to hear all tho difficulties , political , social , and religious , which have ever occupied and perplexed his mind , cleverly and temperately discussed , lot him read ' Thorndale . ' . . . It would be extremely difficult to . qive our readers a full and satisfactory idea , of tho scope and object of ' Thorndale . ' It is metaphysical , but the metapliysicB are taught hi tho concrete rather than in tho abstract . The several schools of thought wtilch prevail amongst us are xepresonted by tho lives and conversations of ThorndalG and his friends . " jonrr utrir ,. "Even to tho most practical there are many fatcts of ouitime discussed winch cannot fail to possess interest , and on ¦ which the author ' s views are clear , logical , and useful . The * great questions connected with the theological philosophy of our day are but slightly touched upon ; but the history of Cyril , aud that chapter especially in his experiences which is headed 'A Memtal Conflict , ' indicates a keen power of analysis as regards ethical truths , and will furnish many a reader with the materials of deep reflection . "We mny add that throughout the whole work there is a devout and earnest spirit wliieh does not constitute its least recommendation . " STECTATOB . " Great elegance of style , much nice perception ^ and sorao dramatic exhibition of character , with thoughts very frequently lioth new and original , constitute the literary merit of the book . " ¦ VVESIEYAlf TIMES . "We have an originality of thought , an elegance of expression , and a selection of subjects not to be easily surpassed .

Sinithlias produced a . chaste , pure , and lovable -volume—one not to be run over c-r skimmed , but to bo reflected upon with a frequent forefinger resting often betweeu its pages . " tEADEE . "We have been much pleased with ' Thorrdale . ' It is remarkable as a philosophical study . The writer thinks foi himself , and says what ho thinks . He is familiar also with the larg-o range of conflicting opinions in our own times , and sets them fairly in Order of battle , without distortion or suppressiou . Such a book must necessarily have a salutary effect . " . ' ' - . EDINBtJKGn ADYERTISEE . " This is a book which cannot fail to make a sensation . Original in thought , and unsurpassably beautiful in stylo , it moreover deals with topics and opinions which , possess a lasting interest for the human mind . " AYR ADVJGHTISER . " It is a repertory of fine thoughts 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 the attention at sonic period or other of our lives . " DUNDEE ADVERTISER . "This is the most thoughtful book thitt has lately fallen mto our hands , and a book that will gratify ma . ny thoughtful men .
