EVENINGS AT OAKWOOD
Preface by Rev. S. BARING-GOULD
Translated from the work of Hanna Winsnes by Ellen White. 12mo, Cloth extra. Price is. 6d.
"A pleasant little book. Several fairy legends set in a frame of dialogue (the interlocutors being four little Norwegian school-girls and their governess), and moralised for their benefit, without prosiness or cant."—Church Times.
"This is a good collection of new fairy tales. They are all founded on ancient Norwegian legends."—Literary Churchman.
"Some are quaint and pretty, and some have a little dash of humour in them. The style reminds one of Fouqué's charming stories."—Guardian.
"A charming little book of stories. There is a captivating freshness about them which we do not often recognise in similar works."—Orchestra.

PRIMITIVE LITURGIES
"We have here the concise results of a profound knowledge of the subject treated, and in the most unpretending form."—Guardian.
"This is more than a reprint. It is really a new edition, with improvements, notes, additions, and the Formulæ of Institution from twenty-four Liturgies either unknown to Dr. Neale or beyond his reach when the first edition (1859) was published. It is now for the first time that the Liturgy of S. Basil is given in an English form, and the thanks of all who wish to see the increase of sound liturgical knowledge facilitated are due to Dr. Littledale for the pains he has taken over this unpretending but solidly useful volume. It is really a book for persons who wish to learn for themselves, and not only to imbibe some one else's ideas at second hand."—Literary Churchman.
"Invaluable to all who desire access to original authorities."—Church Review.
"The moderate cost of the volume ought to ensure it a place in every theological library, however small."—Union Review.
"Great thanks are due both to authors and publisher who thus enable unlettered people to stand face to face with original authorities. Need we remark that the concurrent evidence of these Liturgies to the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist are simply irresistible?"—Church News.
