From The Christian Century, Jan 1, 1898
Any life of Alexander Campbell written so soon after his death must of necessity be limited and take a somewhat narrow range of the work that this great bishop has done for mankind. Another century must pass before men can appreciate and understand the marvelous work of this great man. His work is deepening and broadening now more than ever before. Campbell is influencing more men to-day than he did at any time during his wonderful career. The memoirs of A. Campbell by Robert Richardson, published in two volumes of over twelve hundred pages, present this life as well as it could be done at its close. These memoirs simply lay the foundation for the historian. A book has been needed for several years by the great mass of readers that would be interesting, comprehensive, and readable.
Thomas W. Grafton has given us this volume of two hundred and fifty pages in a most delightful and instructive manner. He has shown himself a master by making his story most interesting, attractive, and at the same time crowding the pages with the work and incidents of the life he portrays. This book properly exhalts the life of Mr. Campbell and will increase men's appreciation of the work he did. We have read no book that held our attention and brought more satisfaction than this. It is a book for the masses and a book for the teacher and a book for the busy minister of the Gospel of Christ.
G. A. Hoffmann.
