Davidson, Rt. Rev. Randall Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury. Christian opportunity. [**]$1.50. Macmillan.
The sermons, addresses and speeches delivered by the Archbishop of Canterbury during his recent visit to America make a volume not only temporarily significant but monumental. “The most interesting contents of the volume, of course, are the sermons in Trinity church in Boston, and the address at Faneuil hall. None however, surpasses in excellence of material or stamps Dr. Davidson as a broader scholar than his cordial address to the evangelical ministers at Boston university. ‘We in England,’ he said, ‘have learned in these latter days to recognize better than ever before how splendid an element in the growth of English life and character is due to our Puritan forefathers, and you in New England have come to see that even among those whom your great-great-grandfathers thought were very black, there is something worth having and holding and thus we join hands in behalf of the common cause—the setting forward of our Master’s kingdom in the old world and in the new.’” (Pub.

Davidson, Thomas. Education of the wage earners. [*]75c. Ginn.
“The record of a unique experiment among the Russian Jews of New York city. As the result of a challenge at the close of a lecture, Professor Davidson organized a class composed almost exclusively of wage-earners from the tenement houses. With them he successfully studied the history of civilization, modern literature, and the history of philosophy.... The volume which is edited by Mr. Charles M. Blakewell, contains a brief biography and characterization of Professor Davidson by the editor.”—Dial.
