“Knows the conditions of play in this country and abroad equally well. While Mr. Paret’s statement that lawn tennis may be taught nearly as well by written instruction as by personal direction may be seriously questioned, his remarks on the strategy of the game and the physical training for big matches are full of common sense and instruction that apply equally well to other forms of exercise.”

“This history of religion in China has the merit of being both critical and impartial.... The story of the imported religions—Christianity in various forms, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, Judaism—is sketched in successive chapters, and lastly Shintoism ... which the Japanese are now endeavoring to introduce.... Towards missionaries, of whom Americans now constitute the majority if only Protestants are counted, Professor Parker’s attitude is both respectful and critical, but full value is assigned to their medical, charitable, and educational work.”—Outlook.
