Father Taylor lived and preached the principles of universal brotherhood. “An untutored son of nature, rugged of build, endowed with keen power of wit and repartee, scathing in his rebuke of everything low or mean, a father to his homeless sailor ‘boys,’ frank, generous, outspoken, fearless, owning no man his master in thought or action, lovable always, with an emotional nature generous in all its impulses, set aflame in the cause of those to whom he devoted his life, who made use of his Seamen’s Bethel in the port of Boston.”
“In his ‘Father Taylor’ Robert Collyer is at his best.” Robert E. Bisbee.

“Not merely a travel book, nor yet one purely geographical or political, but a combination of the two.” (R. of Rs.) “In this ‘Whirlpool of Europe’ may be studied the eddying currents of five or six different races, religions, and national ambitions. Every phase of European civilization, every question, racial political, or social, that has agitated Europe in the last two centuries may be here studied.” (Lit. D.)
“The book is the more important because of the scarcity of material on Austria available at the present time.”
