JOHN KNOX.
A BIOGRAPHY
BY
P. HUME BROWN
AUTHOR OF “THE LIFE OF GEORGE BUCHANAN”
“In this work are found the self-same qualities-grace of literary style, patient mastery of details, and that comprehensive grasp of the larger aspect of affairs which is to the historian what atmospheric effect is to the landscape painter.”—The Athæneum.
“It would be impossible to criticise this book adequately within the space at our disposal, for it is a serious survey, not only of a single life but of the whole state of European politics in so far as they and it reacted upon one another. We must be content to say that Mr. Hame Brown appears to us to have achieved a difficult task with much success.”—The Times.
“A scholarly and worthy biography. Mr. Hume Brown has placed the figure of John Knox, with all its manifold energies, against the background of the religious and political history of the period, and we are impressed alike by the fairness and ability of the picture.”—The Standard.
“This fair-minded, learned, and sympathetic, though not foolishly eulogitics, biography.”—Daily Chronicle.
“A careful and intelligent study of Knox, which the historical student will be able to consult in the full confidence that he will find in it all that is known of the Reformer in its right place and in due proportion.”—The Spectator.
“Distinguished throughout by much critical acumen, sympathetic insight, and constructive power.”—The Speaker.
“At last we possess a biography of Knox which is not only an accurate and learned treatise on his relation to the times in which he led his stormy career, but also a discriminating and most readable history of a man who was indeed only second to Luther in the part he played in the great drama of the Reformation.”—The National Observer.
“Must for long remain the standard work on the subject.”—The Record.
“Of Knox’s share in the stirring events among the reformers in the castle of St. Andrews; of his life in the French galleys; of his ministrations at Berwick, Newcastle, and London, and his refusal to be made a bishop; of his sojourn on the continent and his first intercourse with Calvin, Mr. Brown gives a full and very lucid account, with here and there an additional fact which is either quite new or which has not hitherto been very forcibly presented. But Knox’s life-work is inseparably bound up with the religious revolution in Scotland, and naturally those chapters of Mr. Brown’s well-balanced memoir in which this work is detailed are the most valuable in his book—the more so as we have found peculiar pleasure in the perusal of the volumes.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
