“A good mystery story with a motive by no means commonplace. The telling of even the darkest doings is in a subdued but not spiritless key, and this serves to bring the book into the desirable category of the comfortable-dreadful.”

“It seems a pity that its author should have chosen the one form of plot that would make her readers immediately note her shortcomings in one direction by instituting invidious comparisons with the work of her famous relative, while she really tells a very good story in a charmingly simple way, and has the desirable knack of peopling her pages with interesting and comprehensible characters.”

“It would seem, therefore, that the unique value of this book, as well for the teacher as for the layman, would lie mainly in this catholic account that it gives of the attitude and achievement of the science at the present time. On the whole, and largely in detail, one may say that the book is excellent. It would, however, be much improved as an instrument for teaching psychology if the substance of the topics was more frequently summed in terse formulae.” H. C. Stevens.
