Opinions of the Press.

"It is certainly instructive to see the essential agreement of so many venerated religious writings, though for depth of meaning and classicality of form none of them approaches the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. The idea of the work is an excellent one, and Mr. Conway deserves great credit for being the first to realise it."- Westminster Review.

"Few more valuable contributions have been made to the popular study of comparative theology than Mr. Conway's 'Sacred Anthology,' well fitted to serve as a volume of devout reading to those who choose, without theological forethought or afterthought, to apply it to that use."-Daily News. "The book may fairly be described as a bible of humanity. He has produced a work which a great number of people have long been desiring to possess, and which is likely to mark a distinct epoch in the progress of ethical culture."—Examiner.

"The result is most interesting. For the first time an English reader may judge for himself of the moral and religious merits of writings which heretofore have been to him only venerable and shadowy abstractions."-The Echo. "A very slight examination of the volume will show that it is indeed a valuable anthology of the scriptures of all races. As complete and entertaining a volume as one would wish to read."-The Bookseller.

"It would be impossible that such a book, even if it were comparatively carelessly done, could be without interest; but Mr. Conway's task has been most conscientiously, and it will be found of the greatest possible value, for it casts a strong light upon many matters which are frequently in discussion."-The Scotsman.

"Mr. Conway has conferred a signal service on the literature of Theism, by publishing for the first time a comprehensive collection of some of the best passages from the ancient scriptures of different nations."-The Indian Mirror.

"There is, I suppose, no book in existence quite like it, perhaps none on the same plan and of equal scope. He who found no higher use for the book would rejoice in it as a handbook for Scriptural quotations not otherwise readily accessible, as the number of volumes from which they have been brought together sufficiently proves."-"G. W. S." in the New York Tribune. "This book shows what may be achieved by enthusiasm and perseverance. He has certainly succeeded in accomplishing a useful and important task."-Professor Max Müller in The Academy.
