“It is far from being a successful translation, for the figurative meanings have almost entirely disappeared with the rhythmical. It is just as far from being a successful poem, for all that Dr. Vincent gives us has already been more concisely expressed in plain prose. These notes are of uniform excellence, and are, as the author intimates, the result of class-room debates. On the chance that there are certain intellects which will more rapidly grasp a blank verse ‘Inferno’ rather than one in genuine poetry like Cary’s or in rhetorical prose like Norton’s, Dr. Vincent’s book may not be deemed entirely superfluous. For such intellects his notes can hardly fail to be otherwise than enlightening and stimulating.”

Dargan, Edwin Charles. History of preaching from the apostolic fathers to the great reformers. [**]$1.75. Armstrong.
“This, the first of three volumes, carries the subject to the close of the Reformation period. The two that are to follow will treat of modern European preaching and the history of preaching in the United States. Thus a field at present but partially worked will be fully covered. The present volume treats successively of the patristic preaching, its decline after the fourth century, mediæval preaching from the eleventh to the fourteenth century, and the subsequent renaissance.”—Outlook.
“Dr. Dargan gives us a careful view of the historic settings and abundant biographical detail.”
