Book Description

Excerpt from Homes and Haunts of Luther In the same place was shown, by my good friend the librarian, a Greek Testament, with some Of Luther's annotations in the margin; and the veneration and enthusiasm with which the exhibitor referred to both relics were but specimens Of that feeling which still exists throughout the Vaterland in connection with the memory of the Wittenberg monk. Not one Of the Reformers Of our own country has so laid hold of the national mind and heart. Even the honour done to Knox in Scotland is surpassed by the honour done to Luther in Germany. Wherever you go his name is a talisman; its inspiration is breathed over literature scarcely less than over religion. The Teutonic Catholic is proud Of him; no town or village associated with the events of his life but is ennobled by the circumstance, and in our time attracts to its precincts more visitors than ever.
