''Matsy THOUaHTS,'&o., are evidently the produce of years of research.—Examiner. Many beautiful examples of thought and style are to be found among the selections.—Leader. There can be little doubt that it is destined to take a high place among books of this class.— JVotes and Queries. A treasure to every reader vho may be fortu- nate enough to posseps It. Its perusal is like in- haling essences; we have the cream only of the f;reat authors quoted. Here all are seeds or gems, —English Journal of Education. 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- zine. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it one o£ 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.— Morning Chronicle. Of the numerous volumes of the kind, we do not remember having met with one in which the selection was more iudicious, or the accumulation of treasures so truly wonderful. -Morning Herald. The selection of the extracts has been made with taste, judgment, and critical nicety,— Morning Post. This is a wondrous book, and contains a great many gems of thought.—Daily Nevis. As a work of reference, it will be an acquisi- tion to any man's library.—Publishers' 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.—Tfie Field. All that the poet has described of the beautiful in nature and art, aU the axioms of experience, the collected wisdom of philosopher and sage, are garnered into one heap of useful and well-arranged instruction and amusement.—The Era. The collection will prove a mine rich and in- exhaustible, to those in search of a quotation.— Art Journal, Willbe found to be worth its weight In gold by literary men.—The Builder. Every page is laden with the wealth of pro- foundest thought, and all aglow with the loftiest inspirations of genius.—/S^ar. The work of Mr. Southgate far outstrips all others of its kind. To the clergyman, the author, the artist, and the essayist, ' Many Thoughts of Many Minds' 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 land in the lan- guage that will bear a moment's comparison with it.—Manchester Weekly Advertiser. There Is no mood in which we can take it up without deriving from it Instruction, consolation, and amusement. We heartily thank Mr. Southgate for a book which we shall regard as one of onr best friends and companions.—Cambridge Chronicle. This work possesses 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.—Patriot. The quotations abound In that thought which is the mainspring of mental exercise.—iiocr- 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 does not, upon the face of it, jus- tify Its selection by Its intrinsio merit.—Dorset Chronicle. We are not surprised that a SECOND Series of this work should have been called for. Mr. Southgate has the catholic tastes desirable in a good Editor. Preachers and public speakers mil find that it has special uses for t\iQm.—Edinburgh Daily Bevieio. The Second Series fully sustains the de- served reputation of the FIRST.—/oft» Bull.
