“Is a genuine definitive edition. The editorial work by Prof. Cross, whether of an introductory character or in the shape of notes, or in the correction of numerous errors or the exclusion of spurious material, is of a high order and speaks well for the gentleman’s scholarship no less than for his just appreciation of the duties of editor. The mechanical features of the edition are in keeping with the editorship. The York edition is the most satisfactory interpretation that we have hitherto seen of him.”

Sterrett, James Macbride. Freedom of authority: essays in apologetics. [**]$2. Macmillan.
“The book is ... a defence of authority in religion.... The first chapter deals with the relation between authority and freedom; the second and third are a criticism of the positions of the late Auguste Sabatier, of Dr. Harnack and of the Abbé Loisy; the fourth treats of the historical method, and is a defence of the philosophical school against the purely empirical; the remaining four chapters contain Dr. Sterrett’s own conclusions as to the nature of authority and the guidance of the individual Christian.”—Acad.
“The book, as he himself says, is a series of studies rather than a sustained thesis, and, to tell the truth, it is somewhat scrappy and inconclusive.”
