“The book is valuable as an outline of the sanitary legislation affecting Greater London, and as an abstract of reports of health officers and others during a number of decades past. The book would have gained, both in interest and in force, if the author had put more of his information in his own language and had used smaller type for such quotations as he employed, and had grouped or classified his discussion more thoroughly.”

“It is regrettable that Jephson has overburdened his book with too many quotations, which are too tiresome for the ordinary busy layman who should read it, and which obscure the generalizations.” Charles E. Woodruff.

A sequel to the “Admirable Tinker.” The multiform activity of the invincible young hero, is suggested in the following: “Tinker adopts people. He adopts a sister, a pretty child near his own age, and a daughter, a beautiful young woman who is quite grown, and a Russian revolutionist to boot. Tinker is a matchmaker, though as a real boy he cannot endure to be kissed. Tinker is a detective and a fugitive from justice. He drives a big motor car ... and he goes tiger hunting in the leafy coverts of Beauleigh park. Tinker is an amateur actor as well. He plays female roles to admiration in a blond wig and a pinafore.”—N. Y. Times.
