“Mr. Workman’s book is a valuable contribution to the ecclesiastical and political history of the first three centuries of Christianity, and an authoritative study of a very interesting but partially known subject.”

“The volume covers much the same ground as Mr. Allard’s recently published work on Martyrdom, though with differences characteristic of the two writers. It may be said at once, without any offence to Dr. Workman, that his writing lacks the charm of style which seems almost inevitable in a Frenchman: where, however, critical questions are involved the advantage rests with the English scholar, whose sound judgment removes him as far from M. Allard’s excessive adherence to tradition as from the scepticism of Père Delehaye.” P. V. M. Benecke.

Worsfold, Basil. Lord Milner’s work in South Africa. *$4.50. Dutton.
7–15501.
An intimate view of the official labors of Lord Milner in South Africa. “Mr. Worsfold has written a straightforward, connected account of events that are nowhere else so compactly and coherently set forth; he not only knows his subject thoroughly, but has evidently had opportunities of gathering much personal information directly from Lord Milner himself and from other leading actors in the South African drama; his analysis of the moral and material factors at work is, in the main, to our mind at least, just and convincing.” (Lond. Times.)
