THOMAS NELSON & SONS'

Teachers' Bibles and New Publications.

HOLIDAYS 1898-1899.

[blocks in formation]

These Teachers' Bibles contain "The Illustrated Bible Treasury," written by leading scholars in America and Great Britain, a new Indexed Bible Atlas.

Upwards of 350 Illustrations

of Ancient Monuments, Scenes in Bible Lands, Animals, Plants, Antiquities, Coins, etc., are distributed through the text of the Helps, and a New Concordance to the Authorized and Revised Versions, combined with a Subject-Index and pronouncing Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names.

The Dial says: "The wealth of illustrations of the best sort- - not old worn-out cuts -adds greatly to the beauty and completeness of the articles. The natural-history sections are especially fine in matter and make-up. The Concordance is the most complete yet produced, being adapted both to the Authorized and to the Revised Versions, and containing also proper names. We also find incorporated in it several themes which, in other Helps,' are found merely in separate sections under the dry uninteresting form of tables. Some of these are Messianic Prophecy, Parables in the Old Testament, Quotations in the New Testament for the Old. This feature simplifies the Bible student's task. .. Is nearest the ideal Bible student's manual of any publication in its field."

The Sunday School Times, Sept. 17, 1898, says: "The Nelson Teachers' Bible is of high grade. The illustrated Bible Treasury is a collection of helps more full than most others, and showing great care in preparation. For example, anyone who will compare its treatment of the geography, the topography, the astronomy, zoology, mineralogy, botany, or the antiquities of the Bible, with similar matter to be found anywhere else, will find the comparison greatly to the credit of this Bible. Another special excellence is that its Concordance covers the Revised Version as well as the old Version."

Prices from $1.25 to $7.00.

HASSAN: A Romance of Palestine

By HENRY GILLMAN

Mr. Gillman's powerful romance of the Holy Land as it is to-day is universally praised. It is the result of careful observation of the Fellaheen of Palestine. "The Hero of Hassan," says the New York Times, "will be a revelation even to those who carry their ethnological studies beyond the realm of fiction."

From
Public Opinion

A biblical, patriarchal, pastoral spirit pervades it. Indeed, the whole book is saturated with the author's reverence for the Holy Land, its legends, traditions, glory, misery, its romance, in a word - and its one supreme glory, the impress of the Chosen of God and of the Master who walked among them.

[ocr errors]

Mr. Gillman has certainly opened up a new field of fiction. The book is a marvel of power, acute insight, and clever manipulation of thoroughly grounded truths. There is no question that it lives and breathes. The story is as much a giant in fiction as its hero is among men.

One feels that he has gained a wide knowledge of the customs, life, and condition of modern Palestine that could only be otherwise had by a long residence in the country. The book is one that seems destined to take hold of the popular heart as strongly as did "Ben Hur or "Quo Vadis,” nor is it less worthy of such popularity than either of those named.

The impression made by reading the book is like that of witnessing a great play, its scenes are so vivid, its characters so real, its surrounding horizon so picturesque, its setting so rich and varied.

It is romance of the strongest type. Many pages fairly glow with color, as the author in his enthusiasm portrays the natural beauties of the Holy Land.

THE KING'S HENCHMAN

A Chronicle of the Sixteenth Century, by WILLIAM HENRY JOHNSON.

From
The Boston Herald

From
The Mail and Express

What is more noticeable than the interest of the story itself is Mr. Johnson's intuitive insight and thorough understanding of the period. While the book is Weyman in vigorous activity, it is Dumas in his brilliant touches of romanticism.

Mr. Johnson has caught the spirit of the period, and has painted in Henry of Navarre a truthful and memorable historical portrait.

THE DUENNA OF A GENIUS

By M. E. FRANCIS (Mrs. Francis Blundell), Author of "In a North Country Village," etc. Pronounced the best musical story since "The First Violin," and a pure, bright, pleasant, sparkling, wholesome, interesting story of musical taste, talent, and life.

From
The Church Standard

From

The Boston Herald

From

The Chicago Tribune
From The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

One of the queerest, daintiest, cleverest bits of story writing that one could imagine, written on a line which is absolutely original, and handled with a masterly simplicity which is rare.

A novel that does n't sound a hackneyed note from beginning to the end... . One of the brightest, happiest, and most infectious of the numerous stories that have a musical basis.

A charming love story and charmingly told.

It is a story unique in many particulars, wholesome, refreshing, and of absorbing

interest.

A NEW BOOK BY F. MARION CRAWFORD.

The Story of Rome.

Dr. S. Weir Mitchell says: “I have not for a long while read a book which pleased me more than Mr. Crawford's 'Roma.' It is cast in a form so original and so available that it must surely take the place of all other books about Rome which are needed to help one to understand its story and its archæology. The book has for me a rare interest.”

AVE ROMA IMMORTALIS.

Studies from the Chronicles of Rome.
