“All of the essays are written in Senator Lodge’s agreeable manner; he, at least, has preserved a literary finish in these essays upon historical and allied subjects. It is often refreshing to find such a book, which does not pretend to add to the store of human knowledge, but presents old views and known facts in a pleasing and attractive form.”

“As a whole, the contents of the volume have less distinction than the same author’s ‘Fighting frigate and other essays,’ but that any man in public life should be able to write so much and so well is itself gratifying.”

Thru questions and answers the author formulates a way to achieve a harmonious condition in which the Divine Will is perfectly obeyed. His task has been that “of formulating the fundamentals. or substance of religious faith in terms of Divine Immanence, in such a way as to assimilate sufficiently all the results of existing knowledge and still be in harmony with the teachings of the poets and inspired writers of all ages.” The book is addressed to the many who experience some difficulty in recognizing the old landmarks amid the rising flood of criticism.
