Kedney’s Christian Doctrine Harmonized and Its Rationality Vindicated
The review deems Kedney’s two volume work dense and scholarly. It suggests the author, likely influenced by Hegel, aims to unify Christian doctrine and defend it with fresh arguments. The piece notes esoteric aims for teachers and leaders, not lay readers, and praises depth and learning while questioning accessibility. It cites the work as a major recent study from Putnam.

Riverside Library for Young People review of Washington and Revolution
A critique of Horace E. Scudder and John Fiske biographies for youth. Scudder’s vivid portrayal of George Washington aims to engage young readers with color and concreteness, prioritizing early life while hinting at later political actions. Fiske delivers a brisk Revolution narrative, slower start but solid, though lacking anecdotes. Both titles advance juvenile historical reading.
