THE first appearance of this work took place in 1856, when it was at once recognised as a very able and, on the whole, successful attempt to furnish a history of the development and successive manifestations of one of the most powerful factors in the religious movements of the past, and one concerning which the information of even cultured and well-read persons had hitherto been but meagre and fragmentary. Before the close of the following year the gifted and scholarly author had passed away. He had, however, in great part revised the work, and prepared some additional matter with a view to a new edition. This, with a short preface by his father, was published in 1860. A third edition has recently been issued in two handsome volumes, under the care of the author's son, Wycliffe Vaughan, who has furnished a preface giving a sketch of his father's literary life, together with a brief survey of the wide field included within the range of the work itself. It is scarcely too much to say that the task attempted in these volumes is such as, in order to do full justice to its importance, and in view of its extent and difficulty, might worthily occupy the best years and efforts of one of the Church's ablest and maturest minds. It is matter of congratulation that such a task fell into the hands of one who, although comparatively young, was in many other respects so well fitted for it. To a memory richly stored with the results of wide and careful reading, he joined remarkable acuteness of perception, power of generalisation and soundness of judgment. To this must be added a high degree of sympathetic imagination, an artistic temperament, and, not least, a heart thoroughly loyal to Christ and the great truths of the Gospel. His style, which is remarkable rather for vigour than pliancy, is now and then transfused with the glow of poetic fancy, and enriched with illustrations drawn from the most various and often recondite sources. But one is, perhaps, most struck with the amazing range of reading and wonderful mastery of detail which these volumes evidence, and with the clear, comprehensive, and, on the whole, reliable insight which they afford into a subject at once so vast, intricate, and obscure. -The London Quarterly Review, Vol. 57 [1882]

Excerpt from Hours With the Mystics, Vol. 2: A Contribution to the History of Religious Opinion The next day was fine, as well it might be after such a sunset; to Hawksfell all the party went, and there was no reading. But on the following (sunnier yet, if possible) they assembled immediately after breakfast in the summerhouse, Lowestoffe not excepted, for even he grew inactive with the heat, and declared himself content to lie on the grass by the hour. Atherton congratulated his hearers that they would not for some time be troubled with more lucubrations of his - not till they came, in due course, to Madame Guyon. For Willoughby was to take up Jacob Behmen, and Gower, who possessed (as the fruit of an artist's tour) some acquaintance with Spanish, St. Theresa. Then, unrolling his manuscript, he began. The Sufis, or Mystical Poetry in the East and West. Among all the religions of civilized man, it would be difficult to find one more unfriendly to the growth of mysticism than that of Mohammed. Yet in no religion has mysticism spread more widely or raised its head with greater pride. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

THE intelligence of the death of Mr. R. A. Vaughan, in the autumn of 1857, produced peculiar feelings of disappointment and sadness in the hearts of his many personal and theological friends. He had been known as the author of a volume of poetry, The Witch of Endor and Other Poems, published while a student in the Lancashire Independent College. Subsequently, his papers in the British Quarterly, marked as they were by vast research and chastened imagination, gave his name admission to some of the leading literary circles of England and Scotland. But thus far his reputation as an author was only circumscribed, and it was not until the appearance of Hours with the Mystics that the public became fairly acquainted with him. The work was received with instant attention and favor. A number of the prominent critical periodicals contained commendatory and exhaustive reviews of it, while it created no little stir among the gowned race on the banks of the Isis and the Cam. Not that it was hailed with such enthusiasm as deifies some books that are born in a palace on a bright morning, but die before night by the wayside, and are buried in the potter's field. Denied such an ostentatious natal hour, it was happily spared from a like premature and ignoble grave. Its mission was not to the masses, but to the thinking mind and the feeling heart. The facts it contained had never before been condensed into even a score of works; the style was pure and engaging, the treatment skillful and attractive. The favorable judgments upon it were for the most part from exalted sources; and the author's laurels were of such value that but a tithe of them would have been ample reward for those five years of unremitting labor in languishing health. -The Methodist Review, Vol. 12 [1861]
