This is a book that should be widely dispersed among the more
intelligent, especially where there is much temptation to scepticism.

A biography that wins the heart as much as did the man.

If more historical biographies are desired, there is an
excellent series edited by Professor Creighton; also some good
ones of S.P.C.K., but those here selected are chiefly those
that are modern enough to interest the average library reader,
of the sort who does not want either fiction or absolutely
religious biography.
