Mr. Edward Arnold's New and Popular Books, December, 1901 by Unknown
page 6 of 87 (06%)


'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.
