"MANY THOUGHTS,' &c., are evidently the produce of years of research."-Examiner.

"Many beautiful examples of thought and style are to be found among the selections."-Leader. "There can be little doubt that it is destined to take a high place among books of this class."Notes and Queries.

"A treasure to every reader who may be fortunate enough to possess it. Its perusal is like inhaling essences; we have the cream only of the great authors quoted. Here all are seeds or genis.' -English Journal of Education.

"Mr. Southgate's reading will be found to extend over nearly the whole known field of literature, ancient and modern." — Gentleman's Magasine.

"We have no hesitation in pronouncing it one of the most important books of the season. Credit is due to the publishers for the elegance with which the work is got up, and for the extreme beauty and correctness of the typography." - Morning Chronicle.

Of the numerous volumes of the kind, we do not remember having met with one in which the Belection was more judicious, or the accumulation of treasures so truly wonderful."-Morning Herald. "The selection of the extracts has been made with taste, judgment, and critical nicety."-Morning Post.

This is a wondrous book, and contains a great many gems of thought."-Daily News.

"As a work of reference, it will be an acquisition to any man's library."-Publishers' Circular.

"This volume contains more gems of thought, refined sentiments, noble axioms, and extractable sentences, than have ever before been brought together in our language."-The Field.

"All that the poet has described of the beautiful in nature and art, all the axioms of experience, the collected wisdom of philosopher and sage, are garnered into one heap of useful and well-arranged Instruction and amusement."-The Era.

"The collection will prove a mine rich and inexhaustible, to those in search of a quotation."— Art Journal.

"Will be found to be worth its weight in gold by literary men."-The Builder.

"Every page is laden with the wealth of profoundest thought, and all aglow with the loftiest inspirations of genius."-Star.

The work of Mr. Southgate far outstrips all others of its kind. To the clergymen, the author, the artist, and the essayist, Many Thoughts of Many Minds cannot fail to render almost incalculable service."-Edinburgh Mercury.

"We have no hesitation whatever in describing Mr. Southgate's as the very best book of the class. There is positively nothing of the kind in the language that will bear a moment's comparison with It."-Manchester Weekly Advertiser.

"There is no mood in which we can take it up without deriving from it instruction, consolation, and amusement. We heartily thank Mr. Southgate for a book which we shall regard as one of our best friends and companions."- Cambridge Chronicle.

"This work possesses the merit of being a MAGNIFICENT GIFT BOOK, appropriate to all times and seasons; a book calculated to be of use to the scholar, the divine, and the public man."Freemason's Magazine.

"It is not so much a book as a library of quotations."-Patriot.

"The quotations abound in that thought which is the mainspring of mental exercise."-Liverpool Courier.

"For purposes of apposite quotation, it cannot be surpassed."-Bristol Times.

"It is impossible to pick out a single passage in the work which does not, upon the face of it, justify its selection by its intrinsic merit."-Dorset Chronicle

"We are not surprised that a SECOND SERIES of this work should have been called for. Mr. Southgate has the catholic tastes desirable in a good Editor. Preachers and public speakers will find that it has special uses for them."– Edinburgh Dasily Review.

The SECOND SERIBS fully sustains the deserved reputation of the FIRST."-John Bull
