“In the style there are surprising vivacity and individuality. The individual common sense, the happy and sometimes sharply incisive phrases, and the broadly critical spirit of the book are traits rare in an outline of this sort.”

[*] Reinsch, Paul Samuel. Colonial administration. [*]$1.25. Macmillan.
This volume in “The citizen’s library of economics, politics, and sociology,” “is rather a statement of the various problems confronting colonial governments, and an indication of the main lines of solution that have been attempted than a complete and conclusive discussion of the principles involved. The book gives in small compass a broad survey of the most important activities of modern colonial governments, and deals with the facts of colonial administration rather than with the underlying philosophy. Such topics as education; finance; commerce; currency, banking, and credit; agriculture; the land policy; and the labor question, are tersely and instructively discussed.”—R. of Rs.
[*] “The temper and language of Prof. Reinsch’s introductory chapter could scarcely be improved. He has for the most part made good use of the numerous books cited in his notes.”
