“As a whole the book is a germinal, thought-provoking book. It is deeply religious and ethically lofty. It is written in Mr. Lloyd’s luminous, eloquent style, with many flashing epigrams and keen strokes of wit. Occasionally the thread of the thought is not quite as smooth as if Mr. Lloyd had lived to finish it, but the work of the editors is exceedingly well done. Probably no two people in more complete sympathy with Mr. Lloyd’s thought and work could be found than his sister and Miss Addams.” Eltweed Pomeroy.

“The painful labor of compiling a posthumous volume has been performed with tact and skill, and the book is a precious contribution to the thought of the new century.” Florence Kelly.

“Naturally the treatment is somewhat fragmentary and at times vague; as a whole, however, the editors have succeeded in giving to the exposition both symmetry and connectedness. The book, as a whole, contains deeply suggestive writing in a style which curiously recalls both Emerson and Carlyle. It is a pity that the proofreading should have been so wretchedly done.”

Loane, M. Next street but one. $2. Longmans.
W 7–77.
“This book, mainly about the poor who are always with us and may be supposed to live in the next street but one, is the work of a trained nurse.... The book is a collection of studies of family and economic conditions; each chapter contains a wonderful variety of personal illustrations and is entertainingly written.... The conclusions and deductions are convincing, as they are drawn from specific incidents.”—N. Y. Times.
