Original Sequences,

HYMNS,

AND OTHER ECCLESIASTICAL VERSES.

BY

THE LATE REV. DR. NEALE,

SACKVILLE COLLEGE, EAST GRINSTED.

'It had long been my wish, especially when I had occasion to notice the great favour which God had bestowed on my translations from Mediæval Hymnology, to collect some of my own Hymns and Sequences as a poor little offering to the Great Treasury. Laid aside in spring last from all active work by a severe and dangerous illness, the wish was more strongly impressed on my mind, and I felt that no kind of composition could be more suitable for one who might soon be called to have done with earthly composition for ever.'—Preface (1866).

II.

Price 1s.; by post, 1s. 2d.

Stabat Mater Speciosa:

FULL OF BEAUTY STOOD THE MOTHER.

BY

THE LATE DR. NEALE.

'The companion Sequence to the Stabat Mater Dolorosa is now presented to the reader—Stabat Mater Speciosa; this is the hymn of the Cradle, as the other of the Cross. . . . I cannot but wonder that it has never hitherto appeared in an English translation; nor even, so far as I know, been reprinted in this country.'—Author's Preface.

*** The above Work, and the Original Sequences, were the last efforts of Dr. Neale on his Sick Bed, and were only finished two or three days before his decease.

THE

Rhythm of Bernard of Morlaix,

ON THE HEAVENLY COUNTRY.

EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY

THE LATE DR. NEALE.

'And Bernard, minstrel of the Cross;
  And Bernard, who with home-sick view,
Counting all other joys but loss,
  Jerusalem the Golden drew.'
                  Neale's Original Sequences.

This Rhythm is that which will most surely enshrine John Mason Neale's memory in the Church of England as a dear and honoured treasure. His song will long he the solace of sad hearts on earth, but he is now learning a brighter and sweeter one.' Dr. Littledales Preface to the Eighth Edition.

p. 4

NEW AND SECOND EDITION OF THE COMPANION VOLUME TO THE RHYTHM OF S. BERNARD.

Price 1s. 6d.; by post, 1s. 8d.

HYMNS,

CHIEFLY MEDIÆVAL,

ON THE

Joys and Glories of Paradise.

BY

THE LATE DR. NEALE.

Dr. Neale has intended this volume as a companion to his translation of "Bernard of Morlaix," but it is much more miscellaneous in its contents, which, were it not for the gravity and unity of their subjects, would be almost grotesquely varied.'—Guardian.

'This little book contains some perfect gems.'—Ecclesiastic.

p. 5

Fine Edition, on Toned Paper, 1s. 6d.; by post, 1s. 8d. Cheap Edition, 1s.; by post, 1s. 1d.

Hymns, suitable for Invalids

ORIGINAL OR TRANSLATED.

BY

THE LATE DR. NEALE.

WITH PREFACE BY DR. LITTLEDALE.

'The hymns in this neat little collection are selected from various volumes of his Sacred Poetry, and are admirably suited to form a companion to his "Readings for the Aged." Almost all of them are well-known favourites with persons acquainted with Dr. Neale's poetry, and they are such as to lead those who are yet strangers to it to lose no time in filling up this gap in their knowledge of contemporary poetry.'—Literary Churchman.

'This beautiful collection should be in the hands of every one who visits the sick.'—Church Review.

p. 6

A VOLUME OF CHOICE SERMONS BY DR. NEALE.

SECOND EDITION, CONSIDERABLY ENLARGED.

6s.; by post, 6s. 5d.

The Song of Songs:

A VOLUME OF SERMONS THEREON.

BY

THE LATE DR. NEALE.

*** Many Sermons have been added which have never hitherto been published.

'Its style is that of Dr. Neale himself—peculiar, forcible, attractive, epigrammatic, and thoroughly original; while the Biblical knowledge displayed in it, and the deep lessons brought out by a mystical treatment of words of Sacred Writ, would no doubt astonish some professing Bible Christians of another school.'—Union Review.
