Pierce, Rev. Charles Campbell. Hunger of the heart for faith, and other sermons. *$1. Young ch.
A series of sermons delivered at the Cathedral open-air services in Washington, D. C. There is an introduction by Bishop Satterlee.
Pierce, James O. Studies in constitutional history. *$1.50. Wilson, H. W.
Beginning with the spirit of ’76, these studies treat of American constitutional history in a clear concise manner which will appeal to both the student and the man of affairs. Such subjects as The United States a nation from the Declaration of independence, The beginnings of American institutions, The ethics of secession, The American and French revolutions compared, The beneficiaries of the federal constitution, Slavery in its constitutional relations, A century of the American constitution, Our unwritten constitution, America’s leadership, The American empire, Righteousness exalteth a nation, and America’s place in history are treated in the light of eighteen years of active lecture work upon kindred subjects.
“The lectures or addresses are pitched in a somewhat exalted key, and are calculated to stimulate patriotism and extol the progress of America. Judge Pierce has not always been careful in the use of authorities. On the whole we must conclude that the volume has no peculiar interest and makes no special appeal to the specialist, the student, or the general reader. The reviews and addresses on the whole well adapted for their purpose, do not make an indispensable volume for the library.”
