“It might be dismissed with brief mention—for it has nothing new or significant to say in the way of either criticism or interpretation—if it were not so entirely representative of the attitude of a large class of professed Ibsen worshippers, who have more enthusiasm than discrimination.”

Lee, John. Religious liberty in South America, with special reference to recent legislation in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia; with an introd. by Bishop John H. Vincent. *$1.25. West. Meth. bk.
7–11041.
In the spirit of broad religious tolerance, the author traces the movement for religious liberty in the South American republics of Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
“The volume points out flagrant conditions and aims to create a sentiment against existing religious intolerance. It is of special interest to students of religious social and political conditions, and from either of these standpoints is scientific.”

“Dr. Lee, we repeat, has done a good service in publishing this book; and if it were read by American Catholics as well as by Protestants, the world would be the better for it. It is to be regretted that the author has once or twice slipped into an expression which is unnecessarily bitter, and, perhaps, even unjust. Neither would the volume have suffered, if an occasional bit of padding had been left out.”
