Faith and Societywas, as a matter of fact, much too long a book. ¹ Mr. Reckitt devoted so much space to an account of various organisations and movements in his field, as to be in danger of defeating his own purpose; the reader might have been tempted to wonder why, with so much attempted, so little seems to have been done. In its present form the book is a necessary addition to any library on the subject, either public or private.
