"This series of biographies has a distinct aim, and occupies a distinct place. It purposes to record the lives of men eminent for religious character or service. The series is well begun by Dr. Stoughton's excellent memoir of Wilberforce, which is done with equal literary skill, sound judgment, and good taste. It is admirable in feeling, and from beginning to end full of interest."--_British Quarterly Review._
By CHARLES D. BELL, D.D., Honorary Canon of Carlisle, and Rector of Cheltenham.
"A worthy record of a noble life."--_Whitehall Review._
"In every way a most delightful volume."--_Rock._
"The story of the life and life-work of Doddridge is told by Dr. Stanford with felicitous grace and extraordinary animation. The romance and the conflict of the life, the delicate culture and high breeding of the man, and the various results of his sanctified intelligence and consecrated sense, are delineated with subtle tact and fine feeling."--_Evangelical Magazine._
"The singularly adventurous history of Grellet, a son of noble parents established at Limoges, in France, who yet became one of the most distinguished American Quaker preachers, is not wholly unknown even beyond the Society of Friends. Mr. Guest necessarily condenses his facts, but his little book nevertheless presents many scenes of striking interest."--_Daily News._
"If it were in our power, we would induce every one of our readers to invest his first spare half-crown in this book, and then we would persuade him to read it through and through."--_Sword and Trowel._
"A marvellous story of adventurous mission and extraordinary acceptance."--_Evangelical Magazine._
"Whatever thou art, orthodox or heterodox, send for the Life of Robert Hall."--_Bulwer Lytton's "The Caxtons."_
"Mr. Paxton Hood's brilliant pen has given us a sketch of Robert Hall worthy to rank beside Dr. Stanford's 'Philip Doddridge.'"--_Christian._
