A Dictionary of Miracles, imitative, realistic, and dogmatic. Will illustrations. By E. Cobham Brewer. —This is the Brewer who was also the author of the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. “It is no part of this book to maintain or to deny the historic truth of the miracles recorded, but simply to reproduce, in a compact and handy form, sufficient data to show a mode of religious thought.…Obviously, it can matter very little whether the authors quoted from are good or bad historians, if the matter to be obtained from them is opinion and not history. An historian has to sift out facts, to pare down exaggerated statements, and discard obvious fables; but the interpreter of public opinion has no such task before him, and the very worst historian may be the best exponent of popular belief.”
