“If Mr. Pares tells us nothing sensational in this stout volume, we are all the more ready to believe his word ... and if he tells us nothing exactly new, he at all events presents his points with a lucidity of the first order. Altogether, this book is valuable because it contains the comments and judgments of a competent and wise observer.”
