“Mrs. Gorst is not successful in her treatment of such menfolk as appear in her pages, but her landladies, laundry-girls, and cottagers deserve praise as individual and truly excellent portraits.”

“Mrs. Gorst’s new story is not an advance on ‘This our sister!’ The sense of form and proportion is even less conspicuous, and a certain crude and rather brutal outlook, suggestive of force, is absent. Instead we find more diffuseness, and a fainter show of purpose and individual vision.”

“This valuable work by Dr. Goss covers the very important field of locomotive steam engineering from a standpoint that prior to the development of the engineering laboratory at Purdue university was never possible. Dr. Goss has combined in this volume the most important results obtained from the Purdue tests, records of which have from time to time been separately published, together with other material never before published, thereby making a ‘permanent and accessible record of the work of the laboratory.’”—Engin.
