healthy reduction in the conceit which each generation enjoys at the
expense of that which preceded it."
_Rochester Post Express_: "The book is well worth reading."
_The New Orleans Democrat_: "The book makes very interesting reading,
but there is a succession of shocks in store in it for the complacent
New Englander or Bostonian and for the orthodox or perfunctory reader of
American literature."
=CATHOLIC SUMMER SCHOOL PRESS SERIES=
The highest value attaches to historical research on the lines you so
ably indicate, especially at the present time, when the enemies of Holy
Church are making renewed efforts to show her antagonism to science and
human progress generally. I shall have much pleasure in perusing your
work entitled "The Thirteenth Greatest of Centuries."
Wishing you every blessing, I am, Yours sincerely in Xt.,
R. Card. MERRY DEL VAL.

=THE THIRTEENTH GREATEST OF CENTURIES--By James J. Walsh, M.D., Ph.D.,
Litt.D., Dean and Professor of Nervous Diseases and of the History of
Medicine at Fordham University School of Medicine; Professor of
Physiological Psychology at Cathedral College, New York. Catholic Summer
School Press, 110 West 74th Street, N.Y., Georgetown University Edition.
Over 100 additional illustrations and twenty-six chapters that might
have been, nearly 600 pages. Price, $3.50, post free.=
PROF. WILLIAM OSLER, of Oxford, delivering the Linacre Lecture
before the University of Cambridge, said: "That good son of the Church
and of the profession, Dr. James J. Walsh, has recently published a
charming book on The Thirteenth as the Greatest of Centuries. He makes a
very good case for what is called the First Renaissance."
_The Saturday Review_ (of London): "The volume contains a mass of
interesting facts that will start a train of profitable thought in many
readers' minds."
_The Educational Review_ said: "The title of Dr. Walsh's book, The
Thirteenth Greatest of Centuries, will startle many readers, but we
respectfully commend to the open-minded his presentation of that great
epoch. A century that witnessed such extraordinary achievements in
architecture, in arts and crafts, in education, and in literature and
law, as did the Thirteenth, is not to be lightly dismissed or
unfavorably compared with periods nearer our own."
_The Pittsburg Post_ said: "Dr. Walsh writes infused with all the
learning of the past, enthusiastic in modern research, and sympathetic,
in true scholarly style, with investigation in every line. One need only
run over a few of the topical headings to feel how plausible the thesis
is. The assemblage of the facts and the elucidation of their mutual
relations by Dr. Walsh shows the master's skill. The work bristles on
every page with facts that may be familiar to many, but which were never
before so arranged in just perspective with their convincing force so
clearly shown."
CARDINAL MORAN, of Sydney, Australia: "Just the sort of
literature we want for English readers at the present day."
