A STUDY OF INTELLECTUAL AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH FROM EARLY TIMES TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHRISTIANITY SPECTATOR.—"The American people are giving to the world some of the most thoughtful and balanced studies in history and philosophy now being produced. Mr. Taylor's work is an admirable example of this class of writings."

GUARDIAN.—"A book which stands far above anything else of the kind that we have seen. It needs something like genius to give an account so sympathetic and penetrating of religions so diverse; yet the author never fails to leave in the mind a perfectly definite picture of each system, with its essential characteristics quite distinct, and illustrated by just so much history as is needed to make the picture living. Again, the book is a literary work in a sense in which few histories of human thought are literary—in the sense in which Froude's Studies in Great Subjects, or Symonds's Studies in the Greek Poets, or Pater's Plato and Platonism are literary. ... A book of intense interest, catholic sympathy, and perfectly balanced judgment."

OF THE

SPECTATOR.—"A volume which contains within narrow limits of space a quite remarkable variety of suggestive remarks. . . . Mr. Taylor is always readable and instructive. . . . We take leave of Mr. Taylor with many thanks for a most interesting book."

WESTMINSTER GAZETTE."—An admirable short study of a subject which even well-read men have for the most part left unexplored, except so far as it is covered by Gibbon. . . . We know no better brief summary than Mr. Taylor's of all the various tendencies which finally combined in mediaevalism. It is sound, scholarly, well written, and obviously based upon the widest reading."
