Pettit, Henry. Twentieth-century idealist. [†]$1.50. Grafton press.
“The heroine, who ‘loves and seeks the truth for its own sake,’ is a young and charming girl. She has her own ideas of the ‘true’ faith, and tells them to those who argue with her. Adele Cultus, her parents, and her friend, join two gentlemen in a trip to the Orient. Paul Warder falls in love with the heroine. Together they visit the many interesting places, and finally come to understand each other very well.”—N. Y. Times.
“This novel ... is probably an attempt to write biography in the form of fiction. It is an introspective, retrospective, meditative, idealistic tale.”

Peyton, William Wynne. Three greatest forces in the world, and the making of Western civilization, pt. I, The incarnation. [*]$1.40. Macmillan.
“This trinity of forces is constituted, says the author, by the Incarnation, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection.... In the present volume, limited to the first of the triad, he insists at length on the extension of virgin generation from the lower creation, as in bees, to the higher creation, as in the virgin birth of Christ.”—Outlook.
“While the author is a man of considerable originality and independence of thought he is too much lacking in critical judgment and too fond of large sounding generalities to make his work of value.”
