“We do not observe that Professor McMaster has utilized any sources of information which are not readily accessible; he seems indeed to have relied largely upon the reports in the newspapers. The book is disfigured by some careless mistakes.”

MCMASTERS, WILLIAM HENRY. Revolt. il *$1.60 Small
19–18647
“William H. McMasters has produced ‘Revolt,’ a tale of the presidential election in the year 1940. The hero is Roger Morton, a young multi-millionaire of thirty-eight, son of the world’s first billionaire, John Paine Morton, president of the Universal trust company, which has controlled both political parties of the United States for many years. This marvelous young man, being urged to do so by one of the professors on his death bed, forms the revolutionist party, outwits his father at every point, and elects Dan Holman, one of his Harvard classmates as president of the United States.”—Springf’d Republican
