CHALMERS:

A BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY.

By JAMES DODDS, Esq.,

AUTHOR OF 'THE FIFTY YEARS' STRUGGLE OF THE SCOTTISH COVENANTERS,'

'A useful and well-timed book.'-Athenæum.

The writer has seized with remarkable ability the salient points in his hero's character; and although the portrait is in miniature, it is thoroughly effective.'-Pall Mall Gazette.

'A well-written and affectionate biography. Mr. Dodds has shown commendable industry, loving his hero without making an idol of him.' -Publishers' Circular.

'It contains a graphic account of a very remarkable man, written in a manly style, and none the worse for being enthusiastic.'-The Daily News. 'He presents a vivid sketch of Chalmers in the principal events and actions of his life, and accompanies this with graphic, often eloquent, estimates of his character and wonderful powers.'-Daily Review.

'It is a very readable and informing book.'-The Literary World.

'The book presents us with a most lovable picture of Chalmers throughout almost every page. It is a book that will please all who knew Chalmers-and all who knew him love him-by its keen appreciation and exhibition of his works and virtues; it will inspire all who are here introduced to him with earnest admiration, and a desire to know more of a character so amiable and remarkable.'-The Scotsman.

'We should think that young readers will be grateful to Mr. Dodds; he has certainly provided them with a very charming book. Older readers, too, who may not have access to Dr. Hanna's work, will do well to avail themselves of this convenient volume.'-The Watchman and Wesleyan Advertiser.

'We have read this book through and through with unflagging interest and high delight. . . . Mr. Dodds has executed his task in a most masterly way. He writes with a living sympathy for his hero, yet with a discriminating judgment.'-Homilist.

'Mr. Dodds's volume is full of interest, and will be read with delight even by those who have read and re-read Dr. Hanna.'-Reformed Presbyterian Magazine.

'Mr. Dodds's book is interesting, enthusiastic, and well written.'— Nonconformist.

'The aims and labours of his life are well brought out; and light especially is thrown upon his two favourite purposes,-that of bringing the gospel preached in a free church to bear upon the whole population of a country, and that of dealing in a true Christian spirit with pauperism.'-Presbyterian.
