“The data from anthropology and ethnology seem at times to overweigh the book by their sheer bulk and multiplicity, but for the most part they deepen the impression of the main thesis.” George E. Vincent.

“A distinct gap is filled by this dissertation. From the student’s point of view it is not an easy text-book to read or digest. From the standpoint of those of larger growth it appears congested and scrappy, and suffers the penalty of brevity in drifting occasionally into overstatement and uncritical acceptance of evidence. Throughout the book the author hits hard and does not stay to bandy words with his adversary; but, although the reader may not always agree with him, he will find Professor Sumner suggestive and stimulating.” C. H. Hawes.

Sweeney, Mildred I. McNeal-. When yesterday was young; poems. $1.50. Cooke.
7–1960.
Poems descriptive of nature or of places, with a few of legendary, historical or personal character.
“Nearly every one of the poems in the book seems a ‘tour de force.’ A phrase, a line, or, at the most, a stanza speaks: the rest is deliberate verse-making—elaboration.”
