Summary

Philip Marlow Sidney A history of the gunpowder plot… (1904)

The Academy says:—"Here are pen portraits of eighteen Evangelical teachers, beginning with Wycliffe and ending with Spurgeon. It need hardly be said, perhaps, that their eighteen biographers treat them from about the same point of view. The adifrable thing is that, though that point of view is one with which a given reader may not be so fortunate as to find himself in sympathy, it is one which has the advantage of showing the subject of the biography at his best. A very pleasant volume, and the more to be valued for the sake of its fifteen portraits."
