Boutmy, Emile. English people: a study of their political psychology from the French by E. English; with an introd. by J: E: Courtenay Bodley. [*]$2.50. Putnam.
“This work is divided into five distinct parts: (1) the national type, (2) the human environment, (3) the Englishman—moral and social, (4) the Englishman as a politician, (5) the individual and the state. At the very outset the author sounds the keynote of his book in pointing out the disdain of the English people for abstractions and their love of fact.... While primarily a psychological analysis of the English people, at the same time the author gives a considerable insight into French character.”—Ann. Am. Acad.
“While there is too much of generalization, which detracts greatly from the scientific value, the book is full of interest, and possesses an easy flowing style which will commend it to the majority of readers.”

“It is piquant, varied, plausible in spots, interesting all over,—and fatally unconvincing. The solution is too neat to be true. The English dress which the work bears is fair on the whole, but the translator’s unsure foothold in the region of idiom occasionally reminds one of its Gallic origin.” Winthrop More Daniels.
