Charlotte Brontë

“ Robertson, of Brighton, is a name familiar to most of us, and honoured by all to whom it is familiar. A true servant of Christ, a bold and heart-stirring preacher of the Gospel, his teaching was beautified and intensified by genius. New truth, new light, streamed from each well-worn text when he handled it. The present volume is rich in evidence of his pious, manly, and soaring faith, and of his power not only to point to heaven, but to lead the way."—Globe.
"These sermons are full of thought and beauty. ”

“ It is a volume which deserves the careful attention of every student of classical antiquity. No one can tail to be pleased with a volume which has so much to attract the eye and to gratify the love of beauty and elegance in design. ”

“ Gaskell has produced one of the best biographies of a woman by a woman which we can recall to mind."—Athenæum.
"Thoroughly well and artistically has the work been accomplished; an informing method presides over the whole; every circumstance has a direct bearing on the main object of painting, vigorously and accurately, a real picture of the woman as she was."—Daily News. ”
