“The notable feature of this volume, however, is not its descriptions of personalities, but its examination of the more general agencies that have wrought upon modern preaching, together with its discrimination of the distinctive qualities in homiletical practice in the various Protestant nationalities and communions.”

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“In a work of such extent and difficulty there is inevitably much to criticize: and one cannot in reading it avoid the reflection that six months of steady revision of the whole of it are required in order to bring the work up to the high standard at which the author aims and which is to be looked for from one endowed with his comprehensive insight. The English throughout is crude, there are many mistakes in renderings and descriptions, and many hasty judgments.”
