“This volume is a happy addition to the rapidly growing literature of religious psychology. It deals with the side of the subject that as yet has received scant attention from the scientific students of the religious consciousness. The clear and simple style of the book, together with the note of earnestness and sincerity that pervades it, makes it a pleasure to read. It is a scholarly study of a psychological problem. It will be read with profit by many who have neither a psychological training nor scholarly interests. A carefully selected bibliography of the psychology of religion and an index add to the usefulness of the book for the purposes of the student.” F. C. French.

“One can hardly ask for a clearer vindication than this volume presents of the absolute validity of the religious consciousness.”

* Pratt, Waldo Selden. History of music. Schirmer.

Distinctly a book of reference for students rather than a literary or critical survey of a few salient aspects, or a specialist’s report of original research. It is encyclopedic in its fulness and from primitive or savage music down to later nineteenth century music the leading tendencies or movements of musical advance are discussed.
