The purpose of these sermons is to offer practical reasons to young men for yielding themselves to the sovereignty of Jesus Christ. They treat of the young man and his capital, the young man in his house, at his work, the young man with ambition, the young man and his meditation, and his opportunities, and finally the young man and the supreme passion.
Edgington, T. B. Monroe doctrine. $3. Little.
The author, an attorney of over forty years’ practice at the bar of Memphis, Tenn., has brought to his task a long professional experience and an extended study of original sources of information. Altho new material abounds in this presentation of the Monroe doctrine,—including the treaty establishing the Hague tribunal, the Venezuelan boundary case, the settlement of the European claims against Venezuela, and the Panama canal treaty and concession, “its origin, its history, and its application to various exigencies are in this book described with no little narrative skill, with clearness, and with judicial spirit.” (Outlook).
“The book contains errors of fact as well as of judgment. The most serious imperfections are due to a lack of experience in handling sources, especially a lack of acquaintance with public documents. Notwithstanding grave defects the book is interestingly written and suggestive.” John H. Latané.

“Mr. Edgington preserves a calm and historical spirit in all his comments on the interesting subjects of which he treats, and the argumentation in which he not infrequently indulges is that of a candid jurisconsult rather than that of a partisan.” James Oscar Pierce.
