“The little book of ninety-six pages fairly justifies Professor Peck’s imprimatur, notwithstanding a too frequent looseness of statement, careless proof reading, and the small ratio of original discussion to mere summarizing of the views of others.”

“All the authorities on the subject have been carefully scrutinized and are duly cited, and the book is full of evidence of the most elaborate and careful research on the part of the author into a region of classical scholarship which is practically unexplored by the average Latinist.”

DuBois, Patterson. Culture of justice: a mode of moral education and social reform. **75c. Dodd.
7–16993.
“Justice is here presented as the root-principle of the moral life—the, rather than, as the Greek and Roman philosophy esteemed it, a cardinal virtue.... Wisdom and justice, as Plato taught, are mutually involved and inseparable. This is finely exemplified in Mr. Du Bois’s treatment of ‘the culture of justice.’ His ‘basal rule of practice is to think justice—to do this as an acquired habit of mind.’... Mr. Du Bois draws largely upon facts both of adult and childish experience to illustrate by discriminating criticism what justice is and is not, both in large matters and in small, down to keeping dirty shoes off of car-seats.”—Outlook.
“If there is any better book on this subject in our language than this small volume, we would like to know it. To magistrates and lawyers, to teachers and parents, to all who care for progressive morality, social and personal, this admirable treatise cannot be too strongly commended.”
