Professor of the History of Medicine and of Nervous Diseases at Fordham University School of Medicine. Fordham University Press, 1910. 470 pp. Price, $2.00 net. Postage, 15 cents extra.= CARDINAL MORAN (Sydney, Australia): "I have to thank you for the excellent volume 'Education, How Old the New.' The lectures are admirable, just the sort of reading we want for English readers of the present day." _New York Sun_: "It is all bright and witty and based on deep erudition." _The North American_ (Philadelphia): "Wide historical research, clear graphic statement are salient elements of this interesting and suggestive addition to the modern welter of educational literature." _Detroit Free Press_: "Full of interesting facts and parallels drawn from them that afford much material for reflection." _Chicago Inter-Ocean_: "Incidentally it does away with a number of popular misconceptions as to education in the Middle Ages and as to education in the Latin-American countries at a somewhat later time. The book is written in a straight, unpretentious and interesting style." _Wilkes-Barre Record_: "The volume is most interesting and shows deep research bearing the marks of the indefatigable student." _Pittsburg Post_: "There is no bitterness of controversy and one of the first things to strike the reader is that the dean of Fordham quotes from nearly everybody worth while, Protestant or Catholic, poetry, biography, history, science or what not." _The Wall Street News_ (New York): "The book is calculated to cause a healthy reduction in the conceit which each generation enjoys at the expense of that which preceded it." _Rochester Post Express_: "The book is well worth reading." _The New Orleans Democrat_: "The book makes very interesting reading, but there is a succession of shocks in store in it for the complacent New Englander or Bostonian and for the orthodox or perfunctory reader of American literature." =CATHOLIC SUMMER SCHOOL PRESS SERIES= The highest value attaches to historical research on the lines you so ably indicate, especially at the present time, when the enemies of Holy Church are making renewed efforts to show her antagonism to science and human progress generally. I shall have much pleasure in perusing your work entitled "The Thirteenth Greatest of Centuries." Wishing you every blessing, I am, Yours sincerely in Xt., R. Card. MERRY DEL VAL. Rome, January 18th, 1908. Jas. J. Walsh, Esq
