Todd, Margaret Georgina (Graham Travers, pseud.). Growth. †$1.50. Holt.
7–17048.
The growth, not only of Dugald Dalgleish, the hero, the son of an obscure nonconformist minister, who from a student at the University of Edinburgh develops into a popular preacher, but also the growth, mental and spiritual, of his friend Thatcher, who becomes a priest of Rome, is chronicled in the course of this tale of inward struggle. Judith Lemaistre, the big doctor, the woman Dugald marries, and many other characters worth knowing, take their leisurely way thru the story, which with its religious background and earnest Scotch atmosphere is very different from the usual novel of today.
