“Readable for itself, and giving an excellent notion of the country, the book is also usable side by side with a guide book, as an intelligent and interesting description of the principal places in the country.”

“As a whole his book is disappointing, childishly enthusiastic, and not at all convincing as either guide book or account of travel in the Tyrol. It is full, however, and one will not go astray in following Mr. McCracken as a guide.”

McCracken, Elizabeth. Women of America. [**]$1.50. Macmillan.
As a result of several years of observation of the American woman as she is found in the large towns and small all over the United States, Miss McCracken gives her to us in all her phases, the professional woman and the club woman; her ideals and her achievements.
“This misleading book.... Harmfully sentimental spirit in which the fourteen articles ... are written. No information is offered to the seeker after fact; and for the theorist there is no basis of discussion. The book is simply a rambling series of unilluminating anecdotes, strongly personal without being strongly vital in tone.” O. H. D.
