No worker on any period of United States political history should miss this disclosure of the bankruptcy of our political theorizing in the past, " conceived and executed with penetration and ability," according to the New York Evening Post, which opens a three-column review with the statement, " This is an eminently notable book."

Collier's Weekly classifies it as "dynamic in quality, a book in which a vital force resides which makes reading less a recreation or an ingestion of information than an impetus to one's own thought."

"In the long list of political books his stands out for breadth of vision, sanity of judgment and inspiration Few recent books have been so vital."—Chicago Evening Post.

"A contribution of marked value."-World To-Day.

"A starting-point for a later and advanced school of American polemics; the begiunings of anew and broader philosophy of national life."—Philadelphia North American.

"So fairly does he state both sides of a question that those who are

opposed to him will find many of his sentences worth quoting."—San Francisco Chronicle.

"A profound study, deep in thought and broad in suggestion."—St. Louis Star.

"For its keen analysis, its profound and original thought, and its fascinating interest, the book is assured of a wide hearing."—Herald,

"One of the truly notable books of the season, a book for thoughtful, progressive, and earnest thinkers on pressing and vital problems. Every page attracts keen interest in contemporary ideas and tendencies,"—Chicago Record-Herald,
