“He treats of the family as the cornerstone of
social reorganization. He shows the harm done
by individualism and liberalism in the past and
the attacks of our days on the family”-Leo B.

“The real value of the book can be expressed by
saying that it is the most detailed and the most
interesting study of the actual working of the
Second Cliamber"-Frank Pakenham, Tablet 176:

“They offer their text as a collaboration based on
years of classroom experience. It represents in
part their response to the need they felt for a
clear, simply written outline of factors and events
in the medieval period that have in great measure
determined our present way of life. A teacher
needs no urging to appreciate stich a text. Cul-
tural development during the period is adequately
treated, and other means-sucli as quotations from
reliable sources throwing light on life and thought
during those ages--are used to rescue the narra-
tive from the dryness and dullness of mere record-
ing of past happenings. The necessary condensa-
tion is carefully done. Through a wise choice of
words and phrases the authors have avoided vague-
ness and the bewildering effect of sketchy omis-
sions"-Magnificat 72 :221 Ag '43, .'f75w.
“A warm welcome should greet this textbook for
college history. On reading it one is convinced of
the authors’ statement in the Preface that It has
developed out of long experience in the classroom
and frequent discussion with teachers and students.
The subject matter is treated not chronologically
but topically. . . . There are live. great to ics:
the Roman, the Teutonic, the Christian an ' the
Feudal lVorlds, and then the VVorld in Transition
covering the period of the 14th and l5tli cen-
turies. . . . Throughout the ‘book source material
is used extensively and is interwoven‘ with the
text itself, while the footnotes. will invite the
student to make further acquaintance with the
sources. At the end of each chapter is a list of
suggested readings mainly in English. The work
contains a number of illustrations, helpful maps.

“This pious booklet, which makes a number of
practical. suggestions about recitation of the divine
ofhce, will hardly succeed well of its purpose, be-
cause of an unattractive format and a style not
gauged to appeal to the clergy to whom it is pri-
marily addressed"-Orate Fratres 1-1:574 O 27
'40. 50w.
“The aim of the booklet is to help priests to
say their Oflice with devotion and pleasure. It
does not claim to be erudite or exhaustive, but
the author declares it is merely a compendium of
some of the beautiful lessons left us by the saints.
He stresses the fact that the Office is the liturgical
prayer of the Church, and declares that the priest
who says his Ollice devoutly will most likely be-
come an earnest preacher, an able confessor, a
prudent director of souls. and his work will be
blessed by God. . . . The simplicity and sin-
cerity of the author is apparent on every page"-
