    the Life of the Emperor William of Germany , ' by the Rev . W . W . Tulioch , B . D . Intended for boys and girls all over the world , this book tells of a marvellous regal and martial life . The

    previous works by the same author told the story of the life of the Prince Consort , and of the reign of Her Majesty the Queen . The

    present book equals its predecessors in style , while the stirring events in the career of the deceased Emperor give greater scope for vigour

    relating to tne Gospel of St . Mark , contains 740 closely printed pages , not one of , which is devoid of evidences of extraordinary research

    and diligence in compilation , which clergymen should be the first to appreciate . From MrDavid Nutt—Mr . Oscar Wilde has
