The Philadelphia Record: "It is a glance at the whole field of Electricity by men who are noted for the thoroughness of their research, and it should be made accessible to every reader capable of taking a serious interest in the wonderful phenomena of nature."
Electrical World: "Aside from the intrinsic interest of its matter, the book is delightful to read owing to the graceful literary style common to both authors. One not having the slightest acquaintance with electrical science will find the book of absorbing interest as treating in a human way and with literary art the life work of some of the greatest men of modern times; and, moreover, in the course of his reading he will incidentally obtain a sound knowledge of the main principles upon which almost all present-day electrical development is based. It is a shining example of how science can be popularized without the slightest twisting of facts or distortion of perspective. Electrical readers will find the book also a scholarly treatise on the evolution of electrical science, and a most refreshing change from the 'engineering English' of the typical technical writer."

Cardinal Moran (Sydney, Australia): "I have to thank you for the excellent volume 'Education, How Old the New.' The lectures are admirable, just the sort of reading we want for English readers of the present day."
New York Sun: "It is all bright and witty and based on deep erudition."
The North American (Philadelphia): "Wide historical research, clear graphic statement are salient elements of this interesting and suggestive addition to the modern welter of educational literature."
Detroit Free Press: "Full of interesting facts and parallels drawn from them that afford much material for reflection."
Chicago Inter-Ocean: "Incidentally it does away with a number of popular misconceptions as to education in the Middle Ages and as to education in the Latin-American countries at a somewhat later time. The book is written in a straight, unpretentious and interesting style."
Wilkes-Barre Record: "The volume is most interesting and shows deep research bearing the marks of the indefatigable student."
Pittsburg Post: "There is no bitterness of controversy and one of the first things to strike the reader is that the dean of Fordham quotes from nearly everybody worth while, Protestant or Catholic, poetry, biography, history, science or what not."
