Previous owner's name on ffep. "The events here narrated lead up to Luther's break with Rome, and that accounts for the choice of the title of this book. As in the monograph on the Leipzig Debate, which preceded this narrative, and which in many places dovetails into its scenes, the object has been to exhibit history in the making, to show men just as they were and things just as they happened, good, bad, and indifferent, in seemingly hopeless confusion, but in a hopeful struggle for disintegration, such as human life in its period of probation here on earth always has been and ever will be, until the final parting of the incongruous elements will arrive."; 7.5" (16.5 cm) tall; 350 pages.
