“Mr. Clark ... is at his best in the chapter dealing with the economic and social effects of industrial regulation, particularly compulsory arbitration. Has covered a large field, and has done his work well; to our knowledge no other writer—in America at least—has brought back from that economic wonderland so reliable a report of the alleged marvels wrought in the name of ‘progress.’ His publisher should have seen to it that the book was provided with a better index.”

“While much that he says is entirely just and true the general value of his book seems to me to be much vitiated by important defects and omissions. There are also in the volume a number of misstatements of fact, due, doubtless, to misinformation or to insufficient observation. All in all, Dr. Clark’s account of the labor movement in Australasia is of more interest and value to the student of theories than to the practical man of affairs.” Florence Finch Kelly.

“The chief value of the present book, moreover, lies not so much in its description as in its interpretation of the facts.” Leonard W. Hatch.

The posthumous work of a man “of acknowledged competence in matters, especially literary, pertaining to Spain, whose book is almost the only, and certainly the best, account in English of the unfortunate history of that country during the nineteenth century.... Its attitude is historical and, a special point for readers on this side of the Atlantic, its presentation of the Cuban question is temperate and convincing.” (Nation.)
