"Whereas the biography dealt, for the most part, with Dean Stanley the theologian, the present collection throws fresh and interesting light on that far more fascinating being, Dean Stanley the man. Even the verses are not without value as illustrative of a singularly alert and cultivated mind. The volume should be quite intelligible to those who do not know the life. If it induces them to take up that interesting book, so much the better." -London Athenæum.
