“Hostile and shallow critics will be tempted to run the gamut of the alphabet in search of verbal missiles to hurl at the author from anarchist and bolshevist down to zealot. Mr Frank is none of these, the more careful reader will decide, but merely an insurgent in letters, feeling the pulsing of a new age that sooner or later will be able to declare itself and dominate public opinion as Puritanism has dictated in the past.”

“The book has a genuinely interesting chapter on the Jew and much that is just and sympathetic in regard to the ‘buried culture’ of the Indian. But the unburied issues that cluster about the negro it notably fails to mention. And with the exception of an elaborate eulogy of Miss Amy Lowell, there is no intimation that the American population is not exclusively masculine.”
