“Mr. Wells is acute in observation, he is well informed on English social problems, and he reasons carefully. Never was an outside critic more kindly and sympathetic than Mr. Wells, and we have no doubt that during the next twenty years this book will be referred to and quoted from by every good writer on social problems, which, after all, are not peculiar to America.” John Perry.

“The book is full of quotable sentences, and nothing could prove the actual maturity of the American people better than the interest and good nature we feel in just such inadequate representations of our country as this is.”

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“The volume is scarcely to be considered as the portrayal of an ideal commonwealth; nor as a serious study of social conditions, while as a love story it is pretty weak.”
