Tyler, John M. (John Mason)
Evolution
Formerly of the Imperial University of Tokio; Author of "The
Mikado's Empire" and "Corea, the Hermit Nation"
12mo, $2.00
"The book is excellent throughout, and indispensable to the
religious student."--_The Atlantic Monthly_.
"To any one desiring a knowledge of the development and ethical
status of the East, this book will prove of the utmost assistance,
and Dr. Griffis may be thanked for throwing a still greater charm
about the Land of the Rising Sun."--_The Churchman_.
"Already an acknowledged authority on Japanese questions, Dr.
Griffis in this volume gives to an appreciative public, what we risk
calling his most valuable contribution to the literature this
profoundly interesting nation has evoked."--_The Evangelist_.
"... The fine quality of Dr. Griffis' works. His book is fresh and
original, and may be depended on as material for scientific use....
It may safely be said that it is the best general account of the
religions of Japan that has appeared in the English language, and
for any but the special student it is the best we know of in any
tongue."--_The Critic_.

"One of the most valuable and comprehensive contributions to

the work interesting and valuable."--_The Dial_.
"It is very high, but thoroughly deserved, praise to say that it is
worthy of its great theme."--_The Critical Review_.
"The volume reveals Dr. Fairbairn as a clear and vigorous thinker,
who knows how to be bold without being too bold."--_New York
Tribune_.
"Suggestive, stimulating, and a harbinger of the future catholic
theology."--_Boston Literary World_.
"It is a book abounding in fine and philosophical thoughts, and
deeply sympathetic with the most earnest religious thinking of the
time."--_The Critic_.
"If the object of a book of theology is to stir up the heart and
mind with strong, clear thinking on divine things, no book,
certainly, of the present season surpasses Dr. Fairbairn's."--_The
Outlook_.
"An important contribution to theological literature."--_London
Times_.
"The work shows a keen insight into the relations of truth combined
with a rare power of accurate judgment."--_New York Observer_.

the season."--_The Advance_, Chicago.
