Shroud in their births: the crown of life, light, truth,

Is styled their star, the store and hidden food. Three blessings wait upon them; one of which Should move they make us holy, happy, rich.

"When the world's up, and every swain abroad,

Keep well thy temper; mix not with each clay; Despatch necessities: life hath a load

Which must be carried on, and safely may. Yet keep those cares without thee; let the heart Be God's alone, and choose the better part."

-Vaughan.

JOHN KNOX AND HIS TIMES.

"Miss Warren has ably portrayed not only the great central figure, but also a great variety of minor characters, by the array of whom she manages to present with graphic faithfulness the working principles of the great antagonists in the life and death

encounter of the hottest Reformation campaign. . . . . All honour

is due to Miss Warren for the industry and skill with which she has gathered from the best sources, and set before us such instructive matter and invaluable examples, eminently suited to these testing times."-Christian Examiner.

"The accomplished author of this volume has already done good service in the same department of literature. Not only Luther, but Zwingle, Calvin, and Wycliffe also, have been portrayed by her in lively and faithful colours, and her works are well known and justly appreciated by the religious public. The present memoir has been compiled, like the former ones, from the very best authorities, and gives in a small compass and a popular form what men of letters have hitherto sought for in histories and biographies, and ordinary readers have wanted both time and means to ascertain. . . . . The author has done her work with admirable discretion, neither failing to delineate these minor characters nor allowing them to obscure her central figure. The result she has produced is excellently calculated to show what is the real spirit of Rome, and what of Protestantism, and the production of many such books at the present crisis is a cheering and welcome phenomenon. Into whatever family it finds its way it will bring interest and instruction alike to young and old."Dublin Daily Express.
