A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

OF

SIR HENRY HAVELOCK, K.C.B.,

From Unpublished Papers, etc.

BY THE REV. WILLIAM BROCK.

It is all that it professes to be,

"We thank Mr. Brock for his very acceptable volume. and more; and, far from complaining that we have not complete information of the outward events of Havelock's career, we wonder that so much should have been done, and so well, in the short time which the impatience of the public has allowed the author. Let us say, before going further, that the value of the volume is enhanced by an accompanying portrait, which to our minds is very much more characteristic and truthful than any we have heretofore seen."-Daily News.

"We strongly recommend this interesting volume for circulation, as exhibiting a faithful sketch of a Christian warrior, who, in the words of Lord Hardinge, was 'every inch a soldier, and every inch a Christian.'"-Record.

"Mr. Brock's Memoir cannot fail to have a wide circulation-the interest of the subject will secure that. He has admirably brought out those points of Sir Henry Havelock's character most calculated to impress the readers for good, and has done well his part towards the perpetuation and exposition of the character of this Christian hero."-Patriot.

"Already in such estimation is General Havelock's memory held, that there seems little for the critic to do beyond extending the information that such a book as the present has been published, and to offer an opinion as to the ability and trustworthiness of the author. On each of these points a satisfactory report can be made. The materials are derived from the most unquestionable sources; and the well-known talents and high character of Mr. Brock are an abundant guaranty for the accuracy of his statements."-Bath and Cheltenham Gazette.

"This sketch of the life of Sir Henry Havelock is intended to satisfy the intense desire of the public to know at once some of the history of this remarkable man, who rose into notice so rapidly, and so soon afterwards was removed by death. The author announces that next year a full life is to appear, written by John C. Marshman, Esq., brother-in-law of the late General. Mr. Brock has had access to a number of family papers, so that he is able to give some insight into the character as a private citizen and a Christian. These exhibit him, as might be expected, as a man of unflinching sense of duty, of strong family affection, and of earnest devoted piety."-News of the Churches.

"The most attractive of the sketches of his life that have as yet appeared is from the pen of the Rev. William Brock."—English Presbyterian Messenger.

"Mr. Brock's account is the fullest we have seen, and the march to the relief of Lucknow, with the fearful struggle of the crowning efforts, are well and powerfully described."-The Economist.

"Mr. Brock has written at some length of the progress of the revolt; and has brought together intelligibly and accurately all the information that can be found in public and personal documents. He has told the story of Havelock's place and action in the progress of events with true appreciation and without exaggeration."-Nonconformist.

"We have only to express our gratitude to Mr. Brock for having furnished us with so very interesting a sketch of the life of one who, regarded either as a man, a warrior, or a Christian, possessed qualities of no common order."-Staffordshire Advertiser.

"The writer has made good use of his materials, and many of the more salient points of Havelock's military career are given in the best spirit."-Banner of Ulster.

"It is gratifying to be able to say that Mr. Brock has employed to good account the materials with which he has been able to produce this truly interesting biography, and to present the Christian world with a befitting memorial of a man whose memory, apart from being connected with incidents of the most thrilling character, will be embalmed in the most sacred niche of Britain's heart to the latest generations."-Northern Ensign.

"One_great_charm of this sketch consists in the letters from the departed hero to his family and friends. They reveal a depth and intensity of affection which neither years, nor distance, nor the hardships of a soldier's life, could diminish."-Baptist Magazine.

"This volume is entitled to become a household book in all the Christian and patriotic families in England."-The Watchman.

"Truthful and unaffected."-Christian Times.

"A more successful and popular piece of biography than we have ever before come in contact with."-Cheltenham Chronicle.

MEMOIR OF THE LATE REV. ROBERT NESBIT,
Missionary of the Free Church of Scotland at Bombay. By the Rev. J. MURRAY

MITCHELL.

THIS work contains a record of the life and labours of a devoted servant of God for nearly thirty years. It possesses a character of special interest in the fact of its supplying a desideratum; as it treats of Missions in Western India, regarding which exceedingly little has yet been written. Appended to the Memoirs are sketches of native sentiment on matters religious, political, etc., etc., which possess much interest at the present crisis.

"The Memoir of such a man as Robert Nesbit must be valuable to the Church, and we are glad that the task of publishing his remains was undertaken by a kindred spirit."-The

Record.

"We recommend the Work as a meritorious one of its class, and as thus fitted to be useful at the present junction of affairs."-The Aberdeen Journal.
