“The book is often unjust in its criticism, fulsome in its praise, illogical in its attempts at argument. It could not be called a serious contribution to sociological literature, partly because it is a vitascope of photographs from a car window instead of the careful canvasses of a Millet, who has known his subjects long, and loved them well.”

McCutcheon, George Barr (Richard Greaves, pseud.). [Nedra.] [†]$1.50. Dodd.
The elopement of a young couple from Chicago who start for the Philippines via New York and London, travelling as brother and sister, forms the basis of this story which is turned into an amusing extravaganza by a ship wreck in mid-ocean which leaves the hero stranded upon the island of Nedra with a new heroine, a girl whom he has rescued by mistake.
