PRESS NOTICES.

“Mr. Brownlie has earned for himself the title of hymnologist, and his work and research are at this day of great sterling value to all engaged in the study or collection of hymns.”—Bookman.

“We have noticed favourably other works from his pen, and a volume before us entitled Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church is no less deserving of commendation. A long introduction describes sympathetically, and even enthusiastically, the doctrine of the Eastern Church and its worship, with which Mr. Brownlie is evidently closely acquainted.”—Church Times.

“Mr. Brownlie is already favourably known as a translator of hymns from the Greek Office-books.... The Introduction is well written, and should be of service in dispelling prejudice and ignorance on the subject of the Church of the East.”—Guardian.

“Mr. Brownlie has performed a confessedly difficult task.... The best part of the book is unquestionably what the author modestly calls an Introduction, in which he gives, in the briefest fashion, an entirely admirable account of the history, sacraments, and worship of the Eastern Church.”—Saint Andrew.

“The author has succeeded in retaining the simplicity of the originals while presenting a polished version accommodated to the exigencies of rhyme and rhythm.... His plea for a better understanding of East by West is well informed, enthusiastic, and persuasive. The Introduction is the best compendium we know in small compass of Greek rite and doctrine.”—Glasgow Herald.

“Mr. Brownlie is of good repute as a hymnologist, partly through his own hymns and translations, and partly through his connection with the Church Hymnary, and the companion volume which tells the story of its contents.... In a valuable Introduction of nearly seventy pages, he tells us of the history, doctrine, and worship of the Church from whose service books the hymns have been translated, and his essay is a welcome supplement to that which preludes Neale’s small collection. Mr. Brownlie is a true catholic, and, in helping to catholicise our hymn books, he is furthering that unity of spirit which must precede ecclesiastical reunion.”—Sheffield Daily Telegraph.
