The Covenant of Salt: As Based on the Significance and Symbolism of Salt in Primitive Thought
Trumbull, H. Clay (Henry Clay)
Covenants; Salt
"It is safe to say that no chaplain in the Civil War was more widely
known or did more effective service than the Rev. H. Clay Trumbull....
Add to this qualification the fact that Mr. Trumbull is a man of
hearty sympathy, wide knowledge of human nature, and genial humor,
and it will be concluded that this volume, called 'War Memories of
an Army Chaplain,' is well worth reading. Emphatically it is so, and
particularly at this time, when the subject of soldier life and the
treatment of soldiers is so near to us. The book abounds in significant
and entertaining incidents, and is thoroughly enjoyable from cover to
cover."--_The Outlook_.
"Mr. Trumbull has given us a book upon the Civil War which is in some
respects unique.... Mr. Trumbull's chapters on Religious Services
in the Field, on Chapels, on Sermons, on Pastoral Work, are full of
interesting matter."--New York _Evening Post_.
"This is an interesting and valuable work, not primarily historical
in aim, yet casting upon the history of the Civil War a good deal of
important light.... This personal record is as entertaining as it can
be; parts of it are thrilling."--_The Historical Review_.
"A volume packed full of interesting reminiscences, anecdotes, and
relations that bring back to us the war period from a fresh standpoint.
Perhaps nobody knows as much about real army life as the regimental
chaplain."--_Review of Reviews_.

"The facts are indisputable, and they tell their own story. Nor can
we refrain from commending the volume as a most striking and valuable
contribution to the religious thought of the world. It is emphatically
one of the few books that no religious thinker can afford to be
without."--_President_ W. R. HARPER, _in the Old Testament Student_.
"We thank the author for this fruit of vast labor and persevering
research. It is worthy of the study of all students of
religion."--_Rev._ CHARLES A. BRIGGS, D. D.
"It seems to us to throw a true and important light upon the sacrament
of the Holy Communion, and to rescue it alike from Roman perversion and
Zwinglian degradation. Throughout we have been impressed by its reserve
of power, its care not to press unduly any analogy. It seems to us a
model of what biblical study should be."--_The Churchman_.
The Threshold Covenant
Or, The Beginning of Religious Rites
_8vo. $2.50_
"It is brimful of accurate knowledge and new points of view, and is
written so charmingly that a child could understand and follow."--A. H.

civilisations de l'antiquité tant de sagacité exégétique et de
puissance de synthèse et d'invention."--_Revue de l'Histoire des
Religions, Paris_.
