Taylor, John W. Coming of the saints: imaginations and studies in early church history and tradition. *$3. Dutton.
7–29078.
The story of the journeyings of saints from Palestine to the West in the early days of the Christian era. Mr. Taylor writes of the comings of both the Hebrew and the later Greek missionaries, and in his account he has mingled both history and legend.
“It may not satisfy the technical critics of the writings of the sub-Apostolic age; but all will admit that it is a well-written, interesting and discriminating narrative.” J. Charles Cox.

“This is no ordinary book. With much patient learning, and careful, sympathetic study of all the reputed resting-places of the early saints, Mr. Taylor weaves together the frail but fine threads that link the Christianity of tradition with the Christianity of the Bible, and both of these with the histories of Gaul and Britain.”
