 1. THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST. By Rev., D.D. 'No work since "Ecce Homo" has at all approached this in succinct, clear-cut, and incisive criticism on Christ as He appeared to those who believed on Him.'—Literary World.

'A vivid, picturesque style is the one thing which never grows old or loses its charm. The notes have been carefully revised and brought up to date, the best literature which has appeared since its first issue being skilfully noted. This new edition should be got and placed beside the old. It is one of the few books of which we may afford to have two copies.'—Expository Times.

'Even with all our modern works on this exhaustless theme, from Neander to Farrar and Geikie, there is none which occupies the ground of Dr. Stalker's. .. . We question whether any one popular work so impressively and adequately represents Jesus to the mind.'—Christian.

2. THE LIFE OF PAUL. By Rev., D.D. 'Surpassingly excellent. . . Dr. Stalker gives a masterly miniature, and thousands will see more of Paul in it than in the life-sized portraits. . . . He has the gift of vivid writing; he sketches and colours with words; he does more, he vivifies persons and scenes by his inspiring sentences. Those who wish to pursue the subjects of study suggested by the noble career of Paul, will here find ample guidance for their more thorough research. We have not seen a handbook more completely to our mind.'—C. H. in Sword and Trowel.

'A gem of sacred biography.'—Christian Leader.

'We cannot speak too highly of the way in which our author has handled his material. . . . Dr. Stalker, as in his "Life of Christ," becomes thoroughly original in his treatment, and we have a feeling that what we are reading is not only new, but true.'—Ecclesiastical Gazette.
