What correspondents to the Guardian say:—
“If a book is wanted which is at once cheap, clear, learned, and up-to-date, ‘The Doctrine of the Last Things’ may be strongly recommended. In it the reader will find the Old Testament, the Apocalyptic literature, the Rabbinical writings, and the New Testament most carefully analysed and the results presented in a simple form. In it there is ample material for many courses of Advent sermons on modern but reverent lines.”
“Will you allow me to make use of your columns to commend to my brethren, as an invaluable help in their Advent preaching, Dr. Oesterley’s book? It is popular and lucid in style, scholarly in matter, and illuminating in instruction.... I do not myself know of any other book covering quite the same ground or so immediately helpful to the preacher in Advent.”

“Dr. Oesterley traces with great clearness of definition and logical analysis the development and varying significance of these doctrines as they appear in the Psalms, reaching in the case of the Future Life an ultimate development far in advance of the rest of the Old Testament.”—The Times.

THE CANON LAW IN MEDIÆVAL ENGLAND. An Examination of William Lyndwood’s “Provinciale,” in reply to the late Professor F. W. Maitland. Large Crown 8vo, 6s. net.
This book goes to the heart of a subject which is of intimate concern to every Churchman. It is a piece of constructive criticism and investigation dealing with the relations between the Church and Realm of England and the Mediæval Papacy as expressed in terms of law. It is the first attempt to deal critically with the late Professor Maitland’s famous treatise on “Roman Canon Law in the Church of England.”
