_Newark Evening News_: “These impressions are valuable, because they are honest, the outcome of deep insight, careful observation and broad outlook. As a commentary on Poland’s history as well as its strategic position, the volume is exactly what will be welcomed by the man seeking to be well informed. Mr. Van Norman possesses the comprehensive grasp that reduces matters to their essentials; his book is really the story of the inter-relations of four men, the Pole, the German, the Russian and the Austrian.” _Denver Republican_: “Mr. Van Norman is known as a fine and conscientious writer. His expressed views will be accepted as the careful statements of a thorough investigator.” _Kansas City Star_: “Vaguely in every reader’s mind, there arises a suggestion of a romance and adventure when Poland has mention ... a satisfying book about the land and its people, its fascinating history and its modern aspect.” _San Francisco Chronicle_: “This does not pretend to be a complete history of Poland, although it presents the salient events in her history, but is an interpretation of a people’s great virtues, ideals, talents, genius. An appreciative foreword by Mme. Modjeska and interesting illustrations add to the attraction of the book, which is sold at a remarkably low price, considering its size, its handsome appearance and its literary quality.” _The Martyr Who Blazed the Way to Religious Freedom_ THE LIFE OF JOHN HUS The Martyr of Bohemia _By W. N. SCHWARZE, Ph.D._ Illustrated, 16mo, Cloth, Net 75 cts. ¶ Every Protestant this year should own and read the wonderful story of John Hus. _=500 YEARS of LIBERTY=_ ¶ Religious freedom owes much to the sacrifice of this great reformer, whose life is told in stirring fashion, suffused throughout with the spirit and genius of this fearless Protestant champion. =W. H. ROBERTS, D.D., Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, says:= “I commend it heartily to ministers and laymen. The life and teachings of John Hus are dealt with in an admirable manner.” “A book attractive as well as accurate, and popular although concise: and, with careful examination of the most reliable Hus literature, he has sketched the antecedents of the great Bohemian, his university career, and his work as preacher, teacher, writer and reformer, with sympathy and discrimination, in a clear, vigorous and pleasing style. The book will be very useful in missionary study classes; its informing value is greatly increased by many half-tone illustrations; and its one hundred and fifty-two pages give the reader a far more intimate and satisfying acquaintance with this ‘true nobleman of God,’ than volumes twice or thrice its size and expense.”--_Christian Intelligencer._ * * * * * Transcriber's note: The following apparent printing errors have been corrected: p. 70 "Serbo-Croation" changed to "Serbo-Croatian" p. 106 "Bohemain" changed to "Bohemian"
