“The work under consideration is admirable as a theoretical discussion in that it is centralized about the shares in distribution, preceded by what the author considers necessary by way of introduction, namely ‘value,’ ‘diminishing returns,’ and ‘forms of wealth and income.’ The concrete is everywhere uppermost throughout the book. The style is characterized by a certain vivacity which greatly enlivens the discussion and claims the attention of the reader whether he agrees or disagrees with the conclusions.” J. E. Conner.

“The book is in the main a clear and careful restatement of the prevalent ideas on the theory of distribution as now accepted. The book is moderate in tone and in conclusions.” H. Parker Willis.

“The power and significance of the work. Too much can hardly be said in commendation of the book for its clarity and simplicity of style, its skill and effectiveness of statement, and its logical and attractive arrangement of material. It seems worth while to express forthwith the conviction that Professor Carver’s theoretical position is untenable, for the reason that he attempts to make of value and distribution two distinct problems.” H. J. Davenport.

[*] Gary, Elisabeth Luther. Novels of Henry James: a study. [**]$1.25. Putnam.
“An attractive volume illustrated with a new portrait of Mr. James and an etching of his home at Rye in England; and supplemented by a bibliography zealously compiled by Mr. Frederick A. King.... Miss Carey ... reviews all his work from the beginning; traces his development step by step, and treats in separate chapters of the power of his imagination and the value of his philosophy.”—N. Y. Times.
[*] “If there is weakness anywhere in this interesting and luminous study it is in the chapter on ‘Philosophy.’ One wishes that more expansion of Mr. James’s moral and psychologic messages had been included.” Annie Russell Marble.
