“It is an admirable piece of literature and a book of unlimited suggestiveness. As literature and as philosophy, ‘A modern Utopia’ is Mr. Wells’ masterpiece.”

“The book, both in matter and in form, has been carefully studied and thought out. Mr. Wells’s book seems hardly likely to rank as, or to remain, a classic Utopia.”

Wells, Herbert George. [Twelve stories and a dream.] [†]$1.50. Scribner.
In this volume of stories Mr. Wells “has but rarely any prophetic or scientific axe to grind. His stories deal with the marvelous under many aspects, but always in the light of his half-joyous, half-whimsical humor.” (R. of Rs.)
“None of them is equal to the best of his former tales, but there are some that are very amusing and some quite gruesome.”
