“The one criticism offered concerns a fundamental point—Mr. Ghent’s failure to grasp the full meaning of the doctrine of economic interpretation on which he professes to base his whole discussion.” Wesley C. Mitchell.

[*] “Probably most psychologists would attach more importance to the part played by ideals than the author does, but in tracing back our present conditions of war between labor and capital to a play of motives that were the direct result of the rapid economic development of our country, he is fundamentally correct. The book is to be criticised in this respect as being too schematic, as not going sufficiently into detail to be at all satisfactory to one’s historical sense.” Amy E. Tanner.

Ghosh, Sarath Kumar. Verdict of the gods. [†]$1.50. Dodd.
“With prologue, epilogue, and interludes between the great king, sick unto death, and his faithful chronicler beguiling the painful hours, this Oriental romance details the ordeals—a horrid half-dozen, including burial alive, exposure to wild beasts, and the poison cup—to which Navayan Lal was put for daring to love the Princess Devala. Great bravery and a canny knowledge of hypnotism and other mysteries occult carry him through in safety.”—Outlook.
“Its lucid English style and its fascinating plot. For all these trifling cavils, ‘The verdict of the gods’ must rank as a novel of unusual interest.” Louis H. Gray.
