“All the poems, with the latest changes in them (whether improvements or otherwise) are brought together in a single volume of clear and stately print. A remarkably faithful portrait is included in the six-shillings’ worth, and Mr. Basil Champneys adds an introductory discourse in which a sufficiency of biographical detail has place.”—Acad.

Patrick, William. James, the Lord’s brother. **$2. Scribner.
The author stands on debatable ground in his monolog which aims to show that the author of the Epistle of James is the James whom St. Paul refers to as “the Lord’s brother” in Galatians i, 19. “His conclusion is the one that Christian men would naturally wish to be true but it must be confessed that serious difficulties are in the way. These Dr. Patrick combats with great ability, but with a success that seems somewhat contingent on the predilection of his readers.” (Outlook.)
“We welcome his volume as a scholarly and reasonable contribution to a clearer understanding of the forces at work during the apostolic age.”
