'Mr. Adderley has written a pleasant, sympathetic, graphic account of the most fascinating of mediæval saints. We can heartily recommend Mr. Adderley's book. It is thoroughly up to modern knowledge, and contains references to works as recent as M. Sabatier's publication of the "Tractatus de Indulgentia S. Mariæ in Portiuncula." A useful abridged translation of the Franciscan rule is appended.'--_Guardian_. 'Admirers of St. Francis will gladly welcome this little book. The story of his life is told clearly and in beautiful language.'--_Ave Maria_. * * * * * SEVEN ROMAN STATESMEN. By C.W. OMAN, DEPUTY CHICHELE PROFESSOR OF HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. AUTHOR OF 'THE ART OF WAR,' 'A HISTORY OF ENGLAND,' ETC. Crown 8vo., with Portraits, 6s. This work contains a detailed study of some of the great Romans whose fame is eternal. Cæsar, Pompey, Sulla and the Gracchi were the men who made Roman History, and their characters and actions are of living interest to-day. Professor Oman's volume is based upon a series of lectures given in Oxford, thoroughly revised for publication, and he has selected the portraits with great care. |
