"In the record of thirty years' good work amongst the South Sea cannibals, we have before us one of those missionary enterprises which read almost more strangely than fiction itself.... There are enough hairbreadth escapes and deeds of cool, if unostentatious, courage in these pages to stock half-a-dozen ordinary books, and the forty-five graphic illustrations add much to the attraction of the text."—Daily Telegraph.
LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI. By Paul
Sabatier. Translated from the French. Gilt top. New
Edition. Price 9s. net.
"M. Paul Sabatier is one of those men of letters, unhappily rare in France, in whom ripe learning and fine critical sagacity are not divorced from a reasonable Christian faith. Trained in the 'Faculté de Théologie Protestante de Paris,' he has grown into the most brilliant scholar of his Church. No commentary on the Didache, for instance, is more illuminating than the edition of that treasure-trove which he published in 1885. And now he has given us a 'Life of St. Francis' which may stand on the same shelf with Villari's 'Life of Savonarola.'"—The Expositor.
"We may cordially commend this translation. It is thoroughly well done, fluent and accurate, and nowhere betraying by idiomatic faultiness or even stiffness, that insufficient mastery of one or the other language which mars too many versions."—Glasgow Herald.
