“The book comes nearer to actual life than Mrs. Craigie ever came before, and it has, moreover, the exquisite effervescing brilliancy that so distinguished her earliest work and made it command the instant attention of every reader with an ear for epigram.” Cornelia Atwood Pratt.

Cram, Ralph Adams. Gothic quest. **$1.50. Baker.
7–21371.
“Contains a number of lectures and essays that have appeared singly in various publications, which are here brought together.... They are mainly a discussion of ecclesiastical architecture from the Gothic standpoint, or, rather, from the standpoint of the English high church. Formalism and ritualism seem to hold as high a place in Christian art, to Mr. Cram’s mind, as do form and abstract beauty in art generally.”—Dial.
“After all criticism of form and matter, one must feel that what underlies the volume should be known and appreciated by every individual or committee or congregation interested in the building of a Christian shrine, or house of worship, or temple.”

“Quite rich with plums of wisdom and are filled with a contagious enthusiasm for the expressiveness of mediaeval art.” Elisabeth Luther Cary.
