Mr.. Collins deserves commendation for the
manner in which he treats the Bacon myth
He is as trenchant as he is scornful OF the sup
porters of that amazing Enthusiastically. II ne
takes IL seriously enough TO be at the pains OF
exposing its absurdity once more, 1t is because
he realizes how the Baconians somehow persist
and need discipline. AS ne says, for the sane
and intelligent study of our national Classics Is
being substituted a morbid scrutiny Tor eVl-

DR. Charles A. Briggs's new book on THE
Ethical Teachings OF jesus is a noteworthy
September publication Of Charles Scribner's
Sons. DR.. Briggs has attracted no little at
tention and comment by his views on the higher
criticism Of the Bible. Much Of his previous
teachings and writings has been on a plane
OF scholarship that renders them unadapted to
the general reader. In the present work he has
aimed by the adoption of simple, natural style
and an avoidance of technicalities, to make the
result of his irductive study Of the teachings OF
Jesus appropriate for popular reading.
