“The book is written with a glow of enthusiasm and conviction which makes it very delightful reading and even those who would not agree with many of his conclusions and recommendations, could hardly fail to peruse it with interest and appreciation.” Millicent Mackenzie.

“Sir John Gorst’s book is a great deal better than most of its class. It is less sentimental and is written with some restraint, though with point and vigour, and it lays out the subject in a fairly comprehensive and orderly way; but it belongs to the class and exhibits, in some degree, the usual defects. Nothing is adequately discussed; the facts given are scrappy, selected, and not always accurate; over-statement is common; too much weight is attached to mere opinions; some important questions are omitted, and in regard to others the writer’s knowledge is seriously defective.”
