Lloyd, Henry Demarest. Man, the social creator. **$2. Doubleday.
“A collection of addresses delivered by the late Henry D. Lloyd during the ten years preceding his death, and now brought together in a volume.... The main thesis of the present book is indicated by the title, namely, that man is creating, out of the divine potentialities of his own nature, the social life and institutions which are, for a large body of thinkers to-day, the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ upon earth. The book is also understood to embody the author’s religious beliefs.... Everywhere we find optimism—evil interpreted as good in the making, and the future heralded as a mighty advance upon the present.”—Dial.

“The strength of this book is in its affirmations; its weakness is in its denials. When it is specific it is persuasive; when it deals with generalizations it invites doubt if not actual contradiction.”

Lloyd, Nelson (McAllister). [Mrs. Radigan: her biography, with that of Miss Pearl Veal and the memoirs of J. Madison Mudison.] †$1. Scribner.
“‘Mrs. Radigan’ is another book exposing New York society, but in so jocose and headlong a way as not to make much impression until one pauses to reflect how true to life and perspicacious Mr. Lloyd has been.” G. W. A.
