Jacobus, Melancthon Williams, ed. Roman Catholic and Protestant Bibles compared; the Gould prize essays. 50c. Bible teachers’ training school, N. Y.
“In 1903 Miss Helen Gould offered three prizes for popular, brief essays on ‘The origin and history of the Bible approved by the Roman Catholic church’ and ‘of the American revised version.’ Two hundred and sixty-five essays were presented. The prizes were won by Rev. William Whitely, L.L.M., LL.D., Rev. Gerald Hamilton Beard, B.D., Ph.D., and Charles B. Dalton, Esq. These three essays are published in this volume. Of course, they cover much the same ground. The limits of space imposed were such that the authors could give only a somewhat bare and crowded statement of facts.”—Am. J. Theol.
“The first two essays are very full, accurate, and well proportioned. The third leaves something to be desired in accuracy, especially regarding the exactness of the present biblical text (p. 140). The chief value of the third essay lies in certain quotations from contemporary Catholic sources.” Irving F. Wood.

“These three constitute what must now be regarded as the standard work on a theme of controversy that greatly needed enlightenment.”
