“The chief tests of a biography are accuracy and charm. The former this book seems to fulfil; we have not found any misstatement nor noted any omissions. Charm the book does not possess.”

“The story deals with a group of multi-millionaires who become the victims of a socialistic movement—a popular awakening resulting in such radical measures as blackmail and assassination—and the plot is complicated by a love affair between one of the money kings and the daughter of one of the members of the People’s league.”—Outlook.

“The story is interesting and probably will find many readers. It is to be hoped that it will circulate among people who will regard it as a story merely and not as a socialistic tract. Its effect on impressionable Socialists might be harmful.”
