Shahan, Very Rev. Thomas Joseph. The middle ages. [*]$2. Benziger.
A collection of essays intended to throw light upon church history of the middle ages. They are written from a Catholic view-point and contain a condensed treatment of “Catholicism in the middle ages,” “Results of the crusades,” “The Italian renaissance,” “Baths and bathing in the middle ages,” and kindred subjects.
“Even where no ecclesiastical considerations are involved, the author’s habit of facile generalization leads him into ... such eccentricities of judgment. The essays are pleasantly written and will prove agreeable reading to Catholics.” C. H. Haskins.

“They are always informing and suggestive. We suggest to Catholic higher schools and colleges, that they put these fine essays to constant use in the class-room of history.”
