“Mr. Hunter has head as well as heart, and his book both convinces and inspires. The best chapter is that on ‘The child.’ The poorest chapter is that on ‘Immigrants.’ ‘Poverty’ is fairly well written and will undoubtedly be a standard book on the subject for the next few years.”

“The author has faced a grave problem resolutely. He has stated it in clear terms. He has gathered together the best and most intelligent thought upon the subject. Mr. Hunter’s book is a landmark in the American literature upon the subject.” S. G. Lindholm.

“Such a book as this stands in deplorable contrast with Mr. Rowntree’s study of poverty in York.”
