The Dial: "Professor Dewey has performed a real service to the public, as well as to the memory of his late chief.... In the present collection the editor has not included everything General Walker ever wrote, but has aimed, so far as possible, to avoid repetitions of thought ... there are some discussions of the national finances in the period following the Civil War, which have a timely as well as historical interest at the present time.... To improve the census was General Walker's work for many years, and his experience cannot fail to be of interest to the present generation.... Economics in the hands of this master was no dismal science, because of his broad sympathies, his healthy conservative optimism, his belief in the efficacy of effort; and, in a more superficial sense, because of his saving sense of humor and his happy way of putting things, ... he was the fortunate possessor of a very pleasing literary style, ... clear and interesting to the general reader, as well as instructive to the careful student."
The Outlook: "This book makes accessible for students the miscellaneous work of one of America's greatest political economists.... Dr. Dewey has performed his critical work with the reverence of a disciple, and reprinted in full all the more important contributions."
Political Science Quarterly: "The collection embraces between fifty and sixty articles, all of them characterized by the forceful reasoning and balanced judgment of the gifted author."
