“Mr. Willis somewhat prejudices his case as an impartial critic by the expression of his own adverse opinion in the preliminary chapter, before he has presented his evidence to his readers. No modern government has ever been more severely impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors against the spirit of the institutions of its people, than has the government at Washington in these chapters.” John J. Halsey.

“The serious defect of the book is that it is not what it purports to be. It is really an almost unqualified accusation against the American government, not only of unfitness and failure, but of prejudice, insincerity, and sordidness.”
