Apologia Diffidentis. An intimate personal book.
_Cloth. 8vo._ _$2.50 net._ _Postage 15 cents._
⁂ “Mr. LEITH formulates the anatomy of diffidence as Burton did of melancholy; and it might almost be said that he has done it with equal charm. The book surpasses in beauty and distinction of style any other prose work of the past few years. Its charm is akin to that of Mr. A. C. Benson’s earlier books, yet Mr. Benson at his best has never equalled this.... A human document as striking as it is unusual.... The impress of truth and wisdom lies deep upon every page.”--_The Dial._

DR. A. S. CRAPSEY
The Re-Birth of Religion
_Cloth._ _12mo._ _$1.50 net._ _Postage 12 cents_
⁂ It is the author’s purpose to make clear why it is that the intellectual world has rejected, and must continue to reject, dogmatic teaching.
