Here are told the life stories of celebrated animals in which “the author has sketched for us the events befalling the lions, bears, and elephants, from their wild days to the time of their captivity; and besides that, she has given us good insight into the dangers encountered by the men who are responsible for the animals on exhibition.” (Nation.)
“Such a book ought to be read by every one who visits collections of wild animals.”

A comparison of the earlier attitude toward the Old Testament with the present view of modern scholarship. While in sympathy with the higher criticism, the author holds to the belief that the Bible, every word of it, is true, and that it is the inspired word.
“Those who agree with the author will thank him for setting forth what they feel, with such eloquence. To those who are hesitating between the older and newer views the book will make a strong appeal through its spiritual earnestness and suggestiveness. But what will its effect be upon those who love the old wine of the ‘Infallible word?’ To them many of his epigrammatic expressions will appear irritating.” Kemper Fullerton.
