Chapter II: Preface (2)

“The author’s style is clear and vigorous. His narrative is
interesting and reveals his firm grasp upon the subject matter,
especially as it approaches the later period. Although the work adds
little to the actual knowledge of the specialist, it is a distinct
advance over the old style of state histories, and will serve the
general reader as a reliable and interesting guide through the almost
bewildering maze of the politics of New York state.” Herman V. Ames.

+ =Dial.= 42: 18. Ja. 1, ’07. 410w.

“The personal side of New York politics has been over-emphasized. This
defect deprives the reader of a feeling of continuity in the narrative
of New York’s political history, but while it is a defect, it does not
detract seriously from the value of the work.”

+ + − =Ind.= 62: 214. Ja. 24, ’07. 510w.

“When all possible points of criticism have been raised, his work
merits recognition, not merely because it is practically the only
occupant of its field, but because it is in several important respects
a soundly informing contribution to American historical literature,
useful alike to the general reader and to the special student.”

+ + − =Outlook.= 87: 131. S. 21, ’07. 1020w.

“In spite of a certain monotony which pervades the author’s numerous
character sketches, his style has decided merits; in vigor and fluency
it far outrivals the older but in many respects more substantial work
of Jabez Hammond. The characterizations of men are clearly designed to
be eminently fair, although the reader finds little difficulty in
discovering the author’s sympathies. The statements of facts are
usually careful, but occasional expressions are open to question.”

=Alexander, Edward Porter.= Military memoirs of a Confederate. **$4. Scribner.

7–16778.

“A critical narrative for soldiers and students of campaigns, rather
than a glorification of or an apology for the success or failure in
the war.” (R. of Rs.) It is a criticism of the war on both the Federal
and Confederate side.

* * * * *

“The narrative is clear and concise, praise is worthily bestowed and
criticism generally well taken and temperate. To some of the extremely
critical it will be disappointing, in that the maps are not as good
and as full as they should be and foot-notes are wanting to show the
authority upon which some novel statements are made.” E. A. Carman.

“Aside from its value as a contribution to the records of the civil

“To a layman this book appeals as little short of epoch making in the
history of military criticism.” David Y. Thomas.

+ + =Ann. Am. Acad.= 30: 605. N. ’07. 400w.

“Is remarkable for three reasons. First, it is a critical account of
which the object ‘is the criticism of each campaign as one would
criticise a game of chess only to point out the good and bad plays on
each side, and the moves which have influenced the result.’ Second,
the work is noteworthy as a contribution from the lower South.
Finally, it is the work of one who was a good soldier and is now a
sound philosopher as to the political results of the war.” Walter L.
Fleming.

“It is an exceedingly clear and impartial narrative, and is perfectly

“There have been several works of this kind published by confederate

lessons emphasized by the experiences of both sides. His work, indeed,

=Alexander, John H:= Mosby’s men. $2. Neale.

7–2744.

Mr. Alexander tells how Mosby’s men “played and how they worked and
how they fought.” Not a history of Mosby’s command, only a narrative
of what an alert young soldier saw of the men and their doings
following the spring of 1864.

=Alger, Horatio, jr.= Backwoods boy; or, The boyhood and manhood of Abraham Lincoln. 75c. McKay.

A reissue of an 1883 publication. It is a picture of Lincoln for boys
especially, and follows his career from the log cabin to the White
house.

=Allen, Alexander V. G.= Freedom in the church. **$1.50. Macmillan.

7–7180.

The aim of the author is to show that heresy trials such as the one to
which Mr. Crapsey was recently subjected are contrary to the
principles of the English reformation and the whole spirit of the
Anglican church. He considers historically the ordination vows and the
various articles of the creed, and shows that their original
significance has been lost sight of in the interpretation given them
by heresyhunting churchmen of to-day, and that the doctrine of the
virgin birth in particular has been emphasized out of all proportion
to its importance.

For the student who desires to have some understanding of the growth
and development of the gospel literature in the first century, A.D.,
and of the meaning which this particular gospel had for the evangelist
and his first readers. “While the author has striven to preserve the
distinction between the sphere of the commentator and that of the
historian, questions of credibility and theological implication are
not entirely avoided, his attitude being for the most part
conservative.” (Nation.)

“Partly owing to its formal defect, the book is lacking in breadth of
outlook and religious penetration. Hence he has obliged even his most
grateful readers to admit that this edition, while marking a distinct
advance upon any English work cannot be described by any means as a
final commentary upon our first gospel. It is, however, a good book
for the advanced student to work with. Sound labor has gone to the
making of it, and the very sense of problems in the gospel which it
