“Is uncommonly readable and convincing, not only by reason of its abundant learning but by reason of its unfailing fairness and its habitual restraint. The argument is never overstated, and the difficulties are never undervalued.” George Hodges.

“The ordinary reader will often be somewhat bewildered by the mass of historical material brought into brief compass. Moreover, throughout the work, the author stops to answer so fully the supposed objections of those who differ from him that one is frequently more impressed by the wealth of possible opinion than by the author’s own position. His work will be full of suggestion to historical students; but because of its objective point of view, it is primarily a book of description, rather than one of interpretation.” Gerald Birney Smith.

“The freshness and charm with which the lecturer has dealt with his subject should procure for them an abundant welcome in a much wider circle. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the book is the earnest and sustained effort which Professor Gwatkin makes to combine the best modern thought upon religion and the philosophy of religion with the substance of the old historical faith.” Robert A. Duff.

Mr. Gwynn states that his book is written in praise of Ireland. And it is such praise as one can give who has a full understanding of “its soil and its people, its mountains and plains, seas and rivers, cities and solitudes, its ways of life and thought, its history and its aspirations, its failures and possibilities, its joy and grief.” Of these he writes: “It is, in fact, obviously intended to play a part in promoting the ‘Irish revival.’” (Outlook.)
