OMNIPRESENCE OF THE DEITY, And other Poems.

BY ROBERT MONTGOMERY, M.A.

"He has displayed a depth of thought which would do honour to any writer of the present day. A glowing spirit of devotion distinguishes the whole work. In every page we find thoughts that breathe and words that burn.' A purer body of ethics we have never read; and he who can peruse it without emotion, clothed as it is in the graceful garb of poetry, must have a very cold and insensible heart."-Times.
