A little hundred-page volume in which Dr. Hodges tells the story of “a typical little New England hill town, named from the Yorkshire Holderness, and pleasantly situated on Squam lake, not far from Plymouth, in Grafton county.” He makes interesting personalities of the men who built up the town. “There is some modern matter relating to walks and drives and mountain tops, but the main value of the book is historic, and it is a worthy pendant for Mr. Sanborn’s ‘New Hampshire.’” (N. Y. Times.)

A book of sermons whose burden is liberty, enfranchisement of religious scholarship, the end of fear and the beginning of faith.
“The author has a sense for what is vital in piety, shows himself a keen observer of the tendencies of modern life, exhibits tact in the encouragement of spiritual living, and plies the lash on current foibles pleasantly, wisely and to good effect.”

“Their clearness and freshness of presentation, and closeness to the needs of modern thought and life, are such as belong to the best type of university sermons.”
