“Mr. Lysaght often shows a keen perception of character without the art of sustained development. Many of his people are quite shadowy. He is likewise guilty of self-indulgence in the matter of length.”

“Apart from its general fairmindedness, the book is notable for many passages affording welcome relief to its prevalently serious character.”

Maartens, Maarten. New religion: a modern novel. †$1.50. Appleton.
7–29090.
A novel which embodies a satire on the medical profession whose aim is to disgust people with doctors and medicine. “Mr. Maartens gives us no inkling of what we are to do without doctors, but one of his characters whose legs have been mutilated in an accident is restored by faith. Several surgeons pronounce his case hopeless unless he will have both legs amputated. He refuses and is healed by prayer. Perhaps Mr. Maartens is an apostle of Faith healing or Christian science in disguise.” (Sat. R.)
