Allen, Philip Loring. America’s awakening: the triumph of righteousness in high places. **$1.25. Revell.
An optimistic view of America’s reviving ideals in business and politics. “This book is an attempt to catch, while the subject is still close and living, some of the spirit and accomplishment of this revival. Dealing, as it must with movements only half worked out and men still active in the same fields, it cannot pretend to be in any sense critical or final. Yet it does hope to make the citizen who reads it a little better acquainted with some of the personalities and some of the forces most prominent in this remarkable period.”
“He does not hold a brief for any reformer or any fad. The novelty and assured interest of Mr. Allen’s book lie chiefly, of course, in his interpretation of events.”
