_SEQUEL TO "BIBLE TEACHINGS IN NATURE."_

THE SABBATH OF THE FIELDS. Fifth Edition. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"This book is a worthy sequel to Mr. Macmillan's admirable 'Bible Teachings in Nature.' In it there is the same intimate communion with nature and the same kind of spiritual instruction as in its predecessor."--_Standard_.

"This volume, like all Dr. Macmillan's productions, is very delightful reading, and of a special kind. Imagination, natural science, and religious instruction are blended together in a very charming way."--_British Quarterly Review_.

OUR LORD'S THREE RAISINGS FROM THE DEAD. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"His narrative style is pleasant, and his reflections sensible."--_Westminster Review_.

THE MINISTRY OF NATURE. Seventh Edition. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"The author exhibits throughout his writings the happiest characteristics of a G.o.d-fearing, and, withal, essentially liberal and unprejudiced mind. Of the Essays themselves we cannot speak in terms of too warm admiration."--_Standard_.

"We can give unqualified praise to this most charming and suggestive volume. As studies of nature they are new and striking in information, beautiful in description, rich in spiritual thought, and especially helpful and instructive to all religious teachers. If a preacher desires to see how he can give freshness to his ministry, how he can clothe old and familiar truths in new forms, and so invest them with new attractions, how he can secure real beauty and interest without straining after effect, he could not do better than study this book."--_Nonconformist_.

THE TRUE VINE; OR, THE a.n.a.lOGIES OF OUR LORD'S ALLEGORY. Fifth Edition. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"The volume strikes us as being especially well suited for a book of devotional reading."--_Spectator_.

"Mr. Macmillan has thrown beautiful light upon many points of natural symbolism. Readers and preachers who are unscientific will find many of his ill.u.s.trations as valuable as they are beautiful."--_British Quarterly Review_.

"It abounds in exquisite bits of description, and in striking facts clearly stated."--_Nonconformist_.

FIRST FORMS OF VEGETATION. Second Edition. Corrected and Enlarged.

With Coloured Frontispiece and numerous Ill.u.s.trations. Globe 8vo. 6s.

The first edition of this book was published under the name of "Footnotes from the Page of Nature; or, First Forms of Vegetation."

Upwards of a hundred pages of new matter have been added to this new edition, and eleven new ill.u.s.trations.

"Probably the best popular guide to the practical study of mosses, lichens, and fungi ever written. Its practical value as a help to the student and collector cannot be exaggerated, and it will be no less useful in calling the attention of others to the wonders of nature in the most modern products of the vegetable world."--_Manchester Examiner_.

HOLIDAYS ON HIGH LANDS; OR, RAMBLES AND INCIDENTS IN SEARCH OF ALPINE PLANTS. Second Edition. Revised and Enlarged. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"A series of delightful lectures on the botany of some of the best known mountain regions."--_Guardian_.

"Mr. Macmillan's glowing pictures of Scandinavian nature are enough to kindle in every tourist the desire to take the same interesting high lands for the scenes of his own autumn holidays."--_Sat.u.r.day Review_.

TWO WORLDS ARE OURS. Third Edition. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"Any one of the chapters may be taken up separately and read with pleasure and profit by those whose hours for helpful reading are limited. The ease and grace of style common to all Dr. Macmillan's writings are palpable in this volume. The miracles of the Old Testament, as well as the teachings of nature, have interesting elucidations in it, and readers have the benefit of scriptural studies and extensive researches in nature and science, made by the author, to add to their information and sustain their interest."--_The Theological Quarterly_.

THE MARRIAGE IN CANA OF GALILEE. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"Dr. Macmillan expounds the circ.u.mstances of this miracle with much care, with a good sense and a sound judgment that are but rarely at fault, and with some happy ill.u.s.trations supplied by his knowledge of natural precept."--_The Spectator_.

THE OLIVE LEAF. Globe 8vo. 6s.

"Distinguished by felicity of style, delicate insight, and apt application of the phenomena of nature to spiritual truths that have rendered the author's previous writings popular. These fresh studies of forest trees, foliage, and wild flowers are very pleasant reading."--_Sat.u.r.day Review_.
