"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 Primitive Rite and its Bearings on Scripture
"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_.
"It is brimful of accurate knowledge and new points of view, and is written so charmingly that a child could understand and follow."--A. H. SAYCE, _Professor of Comparative Philology at Oxford_.
"Un livre où s'allient à une si admirable familiarité avec les civilisations de l'antiquité tant de sagacité exégétique et de puissance de synthèse et d'invention."--_Revue de l'Histoire des Religions, Paris_.
"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_.
