“It is easier to sigh for the book which this might have been than to criticize Mr Jones’s book for what it is. I could wish less emphasis on the inner experience and more details as to the outward work; less emphasis on individual conscience and more on the general lessons to be drawn from great experiences corporately shared. I could wish, too, for a less sentimental title.” E: E. Hunt

“The account [of the conscientious objectors] is instructive in many ways; it is free from any disposition to exaggerate such abuses of authority as occurred, and shows on the author’s part an admirable perception of the intricacy of the various interests and principles at stake. Yet we cannot but regret that he did not treat his part of his story more summarily.”

JONES, RUFUS MATTHEW. Story of George Fox. *$1.50 Macmillan
19–1571
“A volume in the series of ‘Great leaders’ lives.’ It is the story of a hero who for more than two hundred years has figured in histories and religious works, but whose personality has never been clearly outlined in popular literature. In this instance, at least, his biographer has succeeded in giving his subject a fair degree of definition.”—R of Rs
“Good concrete example of the ideals of the Friends, well written.”
