Thomas, J. M. Lloyd. Free Catholic church. *80c. Am. Unitar.
Under the essay titles: The catholicity of religion, The fulfilling of Christianity, An undogmatic church, The importance of doctrine, The need of symbolism, and The higher churchmanship, the author advocates a church based on union of spirit which shall meet the demands of our critical age, and he urges ecclesiastical bodies to “abandon the treacherous dogmatic principle on which they are now organized and seek another and firmer foundation.”
“In his brief essay on the establishment of what he calls ‘A free Catholic church,’ Mr. Lloyd Thomas shows himself if not a fanatic, at any rate a wholly unpracticed visionary.” A. E. M. F.

“This interesting monograph belongs to the Cambridge archaeological and ethnological series. It is an endeavor to summarize what is actually known and understood as to the Australian systems and to point out the obscure points which need further investigation. It will be of assistance to all who are studying the history of the development of the family.”—Ann. Am. Acad.
“Mr. Thomas’s book is a severely critical and much-needed essay in restraint of the making of hasty theories.” Andrew Lang.
