OTHER BOOKS BY DR. TRUMBULL

War Memories of an Army Chaplain With 14 full-page Illustrations Crown 8vo. $2.00

"This is incomparably the best chaplain's story which the great war has produced."—Boston Journal.

"Mr. Trumbull gives us no story, merely single incidents, and in them we find the tenderness and reverence and bravery and indomitable spirit of the American soldier. His book is throughout a eulogy of the American private soldier; the man upon whose patience and fidelity, obedience to superiors, and heroism the success of our arms must eventually depend."—New York Times.

"Chaplain Trumbull has given us an interesting volume, which is well worth reading, for its impressions have the stamp of truth, and he tells his story well."—Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

"It is safe to say that no chaplain in the Civil War was more widely known or did more effective service than the Rev. H. Clay Trumbull.... Add to this qualification the fact that Mr. Trumbull is a man of hearty sympathy, wide knowledge of human nature, and genial humor, and it will be concluded that this volume, called 'War Memories of an Army Chaplain,' is well worth reading. Emphatically it is so, and particularly at this time, when the subject of soldier life and the treatment of soldiers is so near to us. The book abounds in significant and entertaining incidents, and is thoroughly enjoyable from cover to cover."—The Outlook.

"Mr. Trumbull has given us a book upon the Civil War which is in some respects unique.... Mr. Trumbull's chapters on Religious Services in the Field, on Chapels, on Sermons, on Pastoral Work, are full of interesting matter."—New York Evening Post.

"This is an interesting and valuable work, not primarily historical in aim, yet casting upon the history of the Civil War a good deal of important light.... This personal record is as entertaining as it can be; parts of it are thrilling."—The Historical Review.

"A volume packed full of interesting reminiscences, anecdotes, and relations that bring back to us the war period from a fresh standpoint. Perhaps nobody knows as much about real army life as the regimental chaplain."—Review of Reviews.

"The facts are indisputable, and they tell their own story. Nor can we refrain from commending the volume as a most striking and valuable contribution to the religious thought of the world. It is emphatically one of the few books that no religious thinker can afford to be without."—President W. R. Harper, in the Old Testament Student.

"We thank the author for this fruit of vast labor and persevering research. It is worthy of the study of all students of religion."—Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D. D.

"It seems to us to throw a true and important light upon the sacrament of the Holy Communion, and to rescue it alike from Roman perversion and Zwinglian degradation. Throughout we have been impressed by its reserve of power, its care not to press unduly any analogy. It seems to us a model of what biblical study should be."—The Churchman.

"I am delighted to have been able to make early acquaintance with a book so full of facts which really illuminate the dark places of primitive times. That the explanation of the Hebrew Scriptures profits much by it is clear."—Professor Dr. T. K. Cheyne, Oxford.
