Mr. Southgate's reading will be found to ex- tend over nearly the whole known field of litera- ture, ancient and modem.—Gentleman's Maga- tine. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it one of the most important books of the season. Credit is due to the publishers for the elegance with which the work is got up, and for the extreme beauty and correctness of the typography.— Horning Chronicle. Of the numerous volumes of the kind, we do not remember having met with one in which the selection was more judicious, or the accumulation of treasures so truly wonderful, -jl/omin^ Herald. The selection of the extracts has been made with taste, judgment, and critical nicety.— Unming Post. This is a wondrous book, and contains a great many gems of thought.—Daily News. As a work of reference, it will be an acquisi- tion to any man's library.—Publisher^ Circular. This volume contains more gems of thought, refined sentiments, noble axioms, and extractable sentences, than have ever before been brought to- gether in our language.—The Field.

To the clergyman, the author, the artist, and the essayist. ' Many Thoughts of Many Mlndg' cannot fail to render almost incal- culable service.—Edinburgh Mercury, We have no hesitation whatever in describing Mr. Southgate's as the very best book of the class. There Is positively nothing of the kind in the lan- guage that will bear a moment's comparison with it.—Mancfiester Weekly Advertiser. There is no mood in which we can take it np without deriving from it Instruction, consolation, and amusement. We heartily thank Mr. Southgate for a book which we shall regard as one of our best friends and companions.—Cani6rtdo« Chronicle. This work possessai the merit of being a MAGNIFICENT GIFT-BOOK, appropriate to all times and seasons ; a book calculated to be of use to the scholar, the divine, and the public man. —Freemason's Magazine. It is not so much a book as a library of quo- tations. —/aMo*. The quotations abound in that thought which is the mainspring of mental exercisa—Liver- pool Courier. For purposes of apposite qiotation, it cannot be surpassed.—Bristol Times. It is impossible to pick out a single passage in the work which doe.s not, upon the face of it, jus- tify its selection by Its intrinsio merit.—Dorset Chronicle. We are not surprised that a Seoond Series of this work should have been called for. Mr. Southgate has the catholic tastes desirable in a good Editor. Preachers and public speakers ^vill find that it has special uses for them.'—Eiiinburgh Daily Review.
