Barry, William (Francis). Tradition of Scripture: its origin, authority, and interpretation. *$1.20. Longmans.
“This is a volume of the ‘Westminister library,’ a series intended for the use of ‘Catholic priests and students,’ presumably ecclesiastical students.... The author’s preoccupation is theological, not scientific; and in his treatment of critical questions, he inquires, not what are the conclusions established by the evidence, but what proportion of these conclusions can be reconciled with the pronouncements of Roman authority.” (Acad.)
“The book is no doubt well adapted to those for whom it is intended, many of whom will learn from it much that they do not know, particularly about the Old Testament; and it will serve well enough as material for sermons. But priests and students will be well advised not to rely on Dr. Barry’s treatment of the critical problems of the New Testament, should they ever be called upon to discuss those problems with persons having a real knowledge of them.”

“It is an encouragement to find a Catholic writer thus generously and intelligently treating the critical study of the Bible, and thus ready to welcome the results of honest and truth-loving scholarship.”

“Tillicums,” the Indian word for “friends” is adopted by four boys who ran the round of camping adventure on Puget Sound. Their fearlessness is put to the test by wild animal as well as desperado, and is the real keynote to the spirited tale.
