“Our one criticism of the book is that the author hesitates a little between two different intentions. Some of the preliminaries would be in place in a large organon, but in a popular handbook they read like platitudes, and might well be taken for granted.”

“His general judgment is keen and vigorous, and he has remarkable powers of exposition, among which a good literary style is not the least. Thus far, at least, I have been unable to see that the economic reasoner extracts from his careful labor on curves and diagrams an iota of truth which he had not assumed or put in, at the beginning.” N.

Pike, Godfrey Holden. John Wesley: the man and his mission. [*]$1. Union press.
Illustrated and written in a quaint old-fashioned style, this brief account of the life of John Wesley, “one of the greatest evangelists who ever carried the Gospel to the people,” seems to breathe the simple Christian spirit of the man. It is a book which is well adapted to children, altho not written for them.
