Abstract

THESE two small books on a great subject are included in the “To-day and To-morrow” series, designed by the publishers to provide a stimulating survey of the most modern thought in many departments of life. Both are accordingly written in a critical and provocative style, compact with aphorisms. America's place in the world is assured and no resentment will be felt there at attempts to discover chinks in her formidable armour. Of the two books, Mr. Bretherton's is the longer and more careful study. Colonel Fuller's suggests the rapid travel impressions of a writer possessing a mature knowledge of world-history.
