Ballads and Other Poems: Fourth Edition, Revised
Raymond, George Lansing
American poetry -- 19th century; United States -- History -- Revolution, 1775-1783 -- Poetry
“The sane, fair, kindly attitude taken gives of itself a
profitable lesson. The author proves conclusively that his
mind—and if his, why not another’s?—can be at one and the
same time sound, sanitary, scientific, and essentially
religious.”—_The Examiner_, Chicago.
“The author writes with logic and a ‘sweet reasonableness’ that
will doubtless convince many halting minds. It is an inspiring
book.”—_Philadelphia Inquirer._
“It is, we think, difficult to overestimate the value of
this volume at the present critical pass in the history of
Christianity.”—_The Arena_, Boston.
“The author has taken up a task calling for heroic effort,
and has given us a volume worthy of careful study....
The conclusion is certainly very reasonable.”—_Christian
Intelligencer_, New York.
“Interesting, suggestive, helpful.”—_Boston Congregationalist._

“Of fascinating interest to cultured readers, to the student,
the teacher, the poet, the artist, the musician, in a word
to all lovers of sweetness and light. The author has a lucid
and vigorous style, and is often strikingly original. What
impresses one is the personality of a profound thinker and a
consummate teacher behind every paragraph.”—_Dundee Courier_,
Scotland
“The articles cover a wide field and manifest a uniformly high
culture in every field covered. It is striking how this great
educator seems to have anticipated the educational tendencies
of our times some decades before they imprest the rest of
us. He has been a pathfinder for many younger men, and still
points the way to higher heights. The book is thoroughly
up-to-date.”—_Service_, Philadelphia.
“Clear, informing, and delightfully readable. Whether the
subject is art and morals, technique in expression, or
character in a republic, each page will be found interesting
and the treatment scholarly, but simple, sane, and
satisfactory ... the story of the Chicago fire is impressingly
vivid.”—_Chicago Standard._
“He is a philosopher, whose encouraging idealism is well
grounded in scientific study, and who illuminates points of
psychology and ethics as well as of art when they come up in
the course of the discussion.”—_The Scotsman_, Edinburgh,
Scotland.
“Agreeably popularizes much that is fundamental in theories
of life and thought. The American people owe much of their
progress, their optimism, and we may say their happiness to
the absorption of just such ideals as Professor Raymond stands
for.”—_Minneapolis Book Review Digest._
