PRESS OPINIONS University Correspondent-" The whole book is admirably conceived and executed. The style is lucidity itself. . . . We know of no better first book in psychology than this Primer." Cambridge Review--"The book, of its kind, is good: the name of its author should almost be enough to guarantee this. Should prove adequate to that class of readers for whom it is designed." Science (U.S.A.)-"Can scarcely fail to interest the novice as well as instruct him. The fundamental concepts are defined with unusual clearness, and every difficult point, as soon as it comes up, is carefully explained, often with the help of illustrations taken from literature or the physical sciences.' Scotsman-"It is, on the whole, a handbook marked by so unusual skill in exposition as to be well worthy of the attention of all who are interested in its subject.' Glasgow Herald-"The book is remarkably well arranged for teaching purposes." Nature-"Prof. Tichener's Primer is a brief and brightly-written account of the main facts of psychology as seen by a disciple of Wundt, and is better adapted than any work which has yet come into the present reviewer's hands to serve as a first book for the beginners for whom it is designed. Two most excellent features of the little book, from this point of view, are the price list of psycholgical apparatus, and the often singularly ingenious problems and exercises appended to the various chapters for home or class use."

Christian Ethic. PRESS OPINIONS ... GLASGOW HERALD.-"This is the best manual of the sort we know. Mr. Bell, who is Master of Marlborough College, seems to us to have grasped with great intelligence the true method of teaching religion to senior boys and girls. His counsels as to the way in which the Old Testament should be handled are specially wise and suggestive. One very good feature of the book is that it avoids the platitudinous prosing so common in most works of the sort. . . . It ought to be in the hands of all who are teaching senior boys and girls, and ministers will find it very useful in conducting Bible classes. It is so free from denominational bias that its counsels will be helpful to teachers in all the orthodox Churches, and young people who are taken through the curriculum it prescribes ought to have a very intelligent grasp of the principles of Christianity." CHRISTIAN WORLD.-"Mr. Bell desires a connective teaching of the Old and New Testament, on a principle of judicious selection, bringing out the preparation for the Gospel, the preaching of the Gospel, the results of Jesus' life, death, and revelation in the growth of the Church and in Christian ethics, in place of the prevalent concentration on an isolated period, which is buried beneath a mass of trifling details. His lucid and compact outlines of such connective teaching, his suggested courses of graduated instruction in the accepted results of the Higher Criticism, his dealing with such knotty problems as miracles, and so on, will help the enthusiastic but perplexed religious teacher over many a stile. The hints are the outcome of the ripe experience of one who has beaten out his views on the anvil of practice." GOD'S GARDEN SUNDAY TALKS WITH BOYS BY THE REV. W. J. FOXELL, M.A., B.MUS. (LOND.) MINOR CANON OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL; DIOCESAN INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS FOR THE ARCHDEACONRY OF CANTERBURY WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE REV. F. W. FARRAR, D.D., F.R.S. DEAN OF CANTERBURY London MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY PRESS OPINIONS Speaker "There is nothing mawkish, but much that is stimulating, in the volume entitled 'God's Garden: Sunday Talks with Boys.' Dean Farrar has written a brief introduction to his friend Mr. Foxell's bright and manly addresses, and in the course of it he says that sermons to boys ought to be short, simple, concrete, definite, real, as well as the outcome of genuine feeling. These addresses fulfil such an aim, and deal with obvious problems of faith and conduct in a strain of vigorous simplicity, and with an evident knowledge of the needs, the moods, the difficulties of boy-life. It is the kind of book which instils lessons of courage, trust, patience, and forbearance; and does so quite as much by example as by precept." Educational Review-"As a scripture prize for boys between the ages of ten and fourteen it is particularly suitable. The average school boy is not given to reading sermons, but if he could be induced to open the book he would soon find himself interested almost against his will." Liverpool Post-"Contains twenty-five brief, clear, forceful addresses from which our youths, 'the trustees of posterity,' can hardly fail to gain some strength, courage, and wisdom." Expository Times-"The Dean of Canterbury writes so hearty and withal so discerning an introduction to this volume of boys' sermons, that one is tempted to quote it and be done. One sentence we will quote: 'In the following pages the boys will find a forcible simplicity, a manly forthrightness, a knowledge of their needs, a fresh and vivacious manner of bringing spiritual and moral truths before them, which cannot but be of definite use to them. That testimony is true." |
