“Mr. Hobhouse has produced a very able work, one of the best of its kind that has appeared in many years. It is a careful, interesting, and instructive presentation of the subject, giving evidence of wide reading and characterized by intelligent judgment. It not only gives us facts, but attempts to see a meaning in them; it not only theorizes about the course of ethical progress but bases its conclusions upon human experiences. To be sure, in a discussion covering so broad and rich a field, there will be many points here and there to which the student may take exception.” Frank Thilly.

“It would be applying a false measure to estimate [these volumes] by the amount of information they contain. There is something better than that, a philosophic grasp of principles. We feel that we are in the hands of a genuine thinker, whose conclusions we may accept or reject, but may not neglect.”

Hobson, H. Overton. Helouan; an Egyptian health resort and how to reach it. $1. Longmans.
A well illustrated guide book to one of the most prominent health resorts in Egypt. Information about routes, climate, baths, charges, the golf-links, and other amusements, as well as the many places of interest is alluringly given.
“It belongs to the class of books that are not books, so we need only say that it contains all the information which the intending visitor should require.”
