Some Press Notices.
Daily Chronicle.—“When it is remembered that in these two volumes (January and February) the biographies of more than four hundred saints are to be found, and that in every case the authorities from which they are derived are set forth; that in the Introduction the reader is furnished with a succinct account of the literature of the subject which is the best résumé that we have in English; that errors in the previous edition are not left uncorrected—it will be seen how much is to be expected from this new issue of Mr. Baring-Gould’s wonderful work, and how much will be found in the sixteen volumes which will be required to complete it.… No student of history—to go no further—can dispense with such a valuable book of reference. There is nothing like it in our language.”
