“No more provocative and fascinating volume has been issued of recent years than this ‘Mankind in the Making.’ Mr. Wells is a master of the suggestive phrase which suddenly opens long vistas and great issues.”—Speaker.
“‘Mankind in the Making’ is a courageous and earnest and suggestive attempt to deal with the all-important problem of the future of the race, and as such we hope it will be widely read.”—Onlooker.
“Mr. Wells is one of the few, very few, original thinkers of the present day, and the result is that we have a book ... which stimulates thought more than any work which one has come across in recent years.”—Graphic.

“‘Anticipations’ is one of the most remarkable pieces of social prophecy which we have lately read.... In Mr. Wells we have not merely an imaginative writer of truly original power, but a thinker of very considerable calibre.... We cannot hesitate to recommend this book to our readers as one of the most suggestive attempts that have yet been made seriously to grapple with those great problems of the near future which present themselves to every man.... Such vividness of perception and picturesque wealth of detail as render it hard for the most unwilling reader to evade its spell ... a most bracing, strenuous, and interesting attempt to foreshadow the trend of our present activities, which no open-minded person can read without being the better for it.”—Spectator.
