Bread -- History
Several new Illustrations appear in this Third Edition,
including a fine reproduction of a very rare portrait
of Luther by Cranach. The reviser’s notes contain a
considerable amount of new material, especially in regard
to Wittenberg and the restoration of its historic Castle
Church.
‘The teaching of this sturdy Protestant Reformer
re-shaped the Religious history of the world; and the
story of his life as told in these fascinating pages
cannot be too often enforced.’—_The Record._

travel which most strikingly impressed him.”—_The
