Lee, Rev. Frank T. Bible study popularized. [*]$1.25. Winona pub.
“The first chapter in this book is devoted to general information about manuscripts and translations, and closes with commendation of the American revision. A chapter on personal Bible study follows. The rest of the book is taken up with illustrations of different methods of Bible study—by books, by historic periods, by characters and incidents—and a concluding chapter on expository preaching.”—Bib. World.
“The style is simple and clear, although the range of subjects required too much condensation. The critical standpoint is quite conservative. The historical sketches are compiled from ordinary sources.” Charles Richmond Henderson.

Lee, Robert Edward, Capt. [Recollections and letters of General Robert E. Lee, by his son.] [**]$2.50. Doubleday.
“The author allows Gen. Lee’s letters, written to his most intimate ones, to form the body of the book. As these letters were written without any idea of their being made public, this book turns the light on the man as he really was.” (Ind.) “The hero of the Confederacy, seen through the eyes of his youngest son, stands forth a living personage, a kindly husband and father no less than an ideal commander, not unduly elated by victory, nor unduly cast down by defeat.” Some of the chapters are devoted to “Services in the United States army,” “The confederate general,” “The army of northern Virginia,” “Fronting the army of the Potomac,” “The surrender,” “A private citizen,” “President of Washington college,” “The idol of the South,” “Lee’s opinion of the late war,” “An ideal father,” and “The reconstruction period.”
