THE CRIMSON BOOKSHELF

THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY: by Henry Osborne Taylor. The Macmillan Company: New York, 1920. Two volumes; set $9.

In this latest volume the author of "The Medieval Mind" gives a sympathetic and scholarly survey of the period which is commonly called the renaissance. In accord with his theories he avoids this term, however, because of its popular implication that the culture of this period was of a distinct and original character and not a gradual growth out of prior time.
