METHODIST TIMES.
CRANMER AND THE ENGLISH
REFORMATION.
BY A. D. INNES, M.A.
To turn from the reading of the ordinary manuals which are flooding the market
just now disguised under an ingenious variety of captivating titles, but obviously
intended for the use of boys and girls engaged in getting up their period and to lind
oneself in the hands of the earnest and accomplished author of this notable monograph,
is to feel lifted into a higher plane of thought and feeling. Athenceum.
If we praised this book as highly as we thought, we should be deemed "high-falutin."
. . . How the author has managed to put so much in so short a space and yet never
to be dull or jejune we cannot understand. . . . The whole is a model of what such a
book should be. If any one thinks this praise too high, we advise them to read it ;
like ourselves, they will be surprised. Cambridge Review.
WESLEY AND METHODISM.
BY F. J. SNELL, M.A.
The book deserves praise for the knowledge it shows of Wesley s character and
writings, and also for its style, which is thoughtful and interesting. Literature.
A well-studied account of the system of belief and practice which grew up around
the figure of John Wesley.
. . . The work reckons up not only Wesley s contribution
to clerical affairs, but his influence in the social life of his own and later times. ... It
is a thoughtful and valuable monograph, which should be read with sympathy and
profit by every one interested in its subject. Scotsman.
LUTHER AND THE GERMAN
REFORMATION.
BY PRINCIPAL T. M. LINDSAY, D.D.
Especially is there room for so able and judicious a work as this. The story of
Luther s life is told simply and well, and it is, above all, related to the time and its
strange new forces and problems. ... We think that students of the life of Luther
could hardly lind a better work than this. In every way an admirable work.
. . .
Spectator.
The matter is well arranged, and the narrative is admirably told, the author s style
being fresh, clear, and vigorous. Record.
