“These sketches exhibit the Army at work in Great Britain, and ‘on the march’ through the world. Its rescue work, training of officers, ‘self-denial week’, and farm colony are described with affecting illustrative experiences. The future of the Army seems secure, though its great General must pass away. Religious enthusiasm for a divine end, coupled with a sagacious, practical use of means, is the lesson of its career to the churches.”—Outlook.

“Miss Friedrichs writes well and with restraint, and illustrates her narrative, as the history of the Salvation army is best illustrated, by anecdotes of its individual triumphs. In short, it is a history that almost any reader may peruse with pleasure, for the human interest of the movement, to say nothing of that attaching to so many of its workers, is undeniable.”

Friedman, Isaac Kahn. The radical. †$1.50. Appleton.

“The ‘radical’ is a Chicagoan who, beginning life as a butcher’s driver, later becomes a political leader and tries to reform the senate.” (N. Y. Times.) “He is a man of the people, homely, a dreamer, yet powerful, in some of his traits seems to be modeled upon Lincoln. His aim is democratic, and so far as this book goes he seems to fail of attaining it.” (Outlook.)
“He is well-equipped with the facts of political life, and with the social sympathies needed for their effective interpretation. The present book, in the detail of its workmanship, is not as finished a production as the author’s previous writings would lead us to expect.” Wm. M. Payne.
