Important New Fall Books

FOUNDERS OF THE MIDDLE AGES

Men of the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries looked back to the immediately preceding centuries--especially the fourth, fifth, and sixth--as to the epoch of the Founders of their civilization. Among these Founders whom Professor Rand has chosen as most significant for later developments are St. Ambrose, the Mystic; St. Jerome, the Humanist; Boethius, the first of the Scholastics; and St. Augustine as a precursor, in some respects, of Dante. He also treats of the New Poetry of Latin Christianity and the New Education in relation to both the past and the future including our own times. The fundamental consideration is the attitude of the Church to Pagan culture, which it did not reject but combined with its own teaching in a new, Christian humanism. $4.00 net.

MEMORIES AND REFLECTIONS, 1852-1927

By the EARL OF OXFORD AND ASQUITH

Just before his death, Lord Oxford completed the reminiscences, which he had been writing for several years. This long-awaited work by the man who was British Prime Minister from 1908 to 1916 is unquestionably one of the most important autobiographies of the year.

Best known as H. H. Asquith, this great parliamenarian and leader of the Liberal Party has revealed himself to an unusual degree. Brought into intimate contact with monarchs and statesmen through three generations, his comment on these celebrities is distinctly illuminating. Letters of prime importance and remarkable passages from his contemporary notes of the World War period are given to the public for the first time.   2 vols. $10.00.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S DIARIES OF BOYHOOD AND YOUTH

SCIENCE IN SEARCH OF GOD

By KIRTLEY F. MATHER, Professor of Geology in Harvard University.

In this little book, Professor Mather gives a straight-forward account of a scientist's attempt to come to terms with the Administrator of the Universe. Few men have been as successful in pointing out the link between religion and science. During many years it has been his fortune to help undergraduates and others, in public address and by private counsel, to see that scientific truth can not conflict with religious truth. Quick to discern the assumptions of both science and religion, he suggests that both adhere to an experimental fact-finding method of considerable severity, with open mind where the facts are not or can not be known.   $2.00 net.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 1809-1858

By ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE

Beveridge's Lincoln is a work that brings together more facts about Lincoln's earlier life and his times than have ever before been assembled; marshaled in the compelling order and presented with the eloquence and dramatic force of which Senator Beveridge was master. It is beyond question the definitive work on its subject and period, illuminating for the scholar, profoundly interesting for the general reader.   2 vols., $12.50 net.
