Wells, Herbert George. [Modern Utopia.] [*]$1.50. Scribner.
Mr. Wells departs from the Utopia-makers of the past in that his Utopia is a world-state using a universal language. The author deals “with strictly modern and current conditions, and imagines a new state of society, whose social basis has been improved and whose social problems have been settled.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Seems to us to mark an advance even on the high level of excellence which Mr. Wells had before attained.”
