'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative
beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the
conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so
exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided
it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The
amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived
with high poetic insight, and this "Dream of the World's Tragedy"
is a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax of
the inspired narrative.'--_Dublin Review._
