"I'orms a natural sequence to the famous life of Francis by Sabatier
[92 F866s]. It carries on the story of the order, beginning with
the immediate disciples of Francis.. .The writer exhibits her complete
grasp of the sources in her text, and enumerates them in her
appendix of critical notes. Her volume is the peculiarly felicitous
outcome of long study and a highly critical mind. . .Probably one
should know something of the general situation before he takes
up the book, but then he will find it a delight throughout." Nation,
