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. T., 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."
