The aim of this volume is “to bring all the English-speaking peoples together by enabling them to realize their own characteristics.” And to this end the author “has covered the ground that the Anglo-Saxon occupies in anthropology, history, economics, art, theology, and everything else.... The privileged classes of England are a Latin survival, and so is the ‘boss’ of American politics. Nevertheless, Americans, Australians, and other Anglo-Saxons are far ahead of Great Britain in their progress towards true Anglo-Saxonism; but a revulsion is coming even there.” (N. Y. Times.)
“He goes on for page after page proclaiming statements, sometimes of the most far-reaching importance positive and negative, and sometimes completely reversing conclusions of the students of those subjects, without a rag of evidence except the statement of his own general impression.”

“His observations are comprehensive and interesting, but rather cursory and superficial. In philosophizing upon them he is plainly amateurish.”
