“The young people are simple and natural and the incidents are
never strained to produce dramatic effects, but those who have lived
in the country may feel that the absolute superiority of Marian and
her mother to all their neighbors is exaggerated.”
“While at times the author seeks to present his nation in the most
favorable light, as in the omission of any mention of the outrages
perpetrated by the revolutionary societies at the close of the
nineteenth century, his book is free from any attempt at propaganda.
Unfortunately, this cannot be said of the preface written by M.
Crabites.” D: Magie
“It is a concise and readable outline, giving not only the main
currents of political development but also some information
concerning economic and social organization.”

With astonishing frankness Mrs Asquith tells the story of her life
and when she says in her preface that she has taken the
responsibility of the telling entirely upon herself, one can easily
believe her. Her dash and courage and unconventionality, her
affectionate nature and clever wit, her social position and close
association with events and people of prominence make the book
unusual. In her own words, she has related of her “manners, morals,
talents, defects, temptations and appearance” as faithfully as she
could. Her reminiscences are all of a personal nature without
reference to politics and public affairs. Both books are indexed and
illustrated.

“Mrs Asquith has moved through great scenes; but the motion is a
flitting, rather than an act of spiritual observation, and therefore
when she sits down to recall her impression, it is apt to lack both
sharpness and refinement.”
“She is not well equipped for the panoramic display of the outer
world, and the remarkable fulness of her opportunity in that
direction is largely wasted. Mrs Asquith is no story-teller, it is not her
line; she lacks the seeing eye and the vivifying phrase. And yet she
elects to write a book that is all storytelling, all an attempt to
reproduce the brilliant phantasmagoria in which she has lived.”

“Professor Athearn frankly states that the church cannot ask the
state to teach religion, but the church can teach religion at odd hours
during the week and on Sunday. The church can and must organize
and administrate a national system of religious education that will
parallel and correlate with the national secular system which is in
process of formation at the present time. He regards the Smith-
Towner bill as a large step in the direction of a unified, national,
secular system of education, and accepts it as a challenge to the
educational leadership of the church to produce a program which
will be equally scientific, equally democratic, and equally prophetic.
His discussion of national control, or direction, of a system of secular
and religious education is extremely worth while at this, the most
critical, time in the history of education in the United States.”

“Very simple and very real, told with sympathy, grace and a fine,

appealing book.”

“In short, this is a special type of realism, and the cumulative effect
of it ... recalls as its nearest parallel, not prose but verse, Hood’s
‘Song of the shirt.’” Calvin Winter
“This is a book for gentle souls; although it is too deeply human for
the ingenuous.” A. G. H. Spiers

“It is rich and poor, cold and hot, dull and deeply interesting. But
the impression of the whole is of something which has just not
succeeded.” K. M.
“The novel is one whose appeal will be to those who care for style
and thought rather than for plot and incident. It is a better book than
‘The Querrils.’”
“The scenes are described with the ability which ‘The Querrils’
showed Mr Aumonier to possess; but the book is less carefully
constructed, and the sense of incomplete finality which marred the
effect of the earlier novel in this one is more obtrusive. Mr Aumonier
studies situations rather than characters, and in contriving a
situation with a climax that is dramatic but not ‘stagey’ he has a
particular skill. At the same time, the book has a tendency to fall into
vaguely connected episodes, while the characters approximate too
closely to collections of impersonal attributes.”

The action of the story takes place in the year after America’s
entrance into the war. Neith Schuyler, the heroine, has lived abroad
with an invalid father for a number of years, and following his death
has done relief work in France. She returns home hoping to learn to
understand America. To come nearer to the problem she leaves the
luxurious home of her two great aunts and takes a modest apartment
on Jayne street, just off Washington square. Here she comes into
contact with many shades of radical opinion and contrasts it with the
“capitalistic” attitude of her own family and friends. Two men fall in
love with Neith, Eustace Bittenhouse, an aviator, and Adam Frear, a
labor leader. She becomes engaged to Adam and then learns that
there has been another woman in his life, Rose Matlock, one of the
radical group. The attitude of the two women, who represent the new
feminism, puzzles Adam and he leaves for Russia. Eustace is killed in
France and Neith is left to grope her way into the future alone.
“Rather obscure and vague in some places, it will not have many
readers.”
“One should not chide Mrs Austin too much for her somewhat
blurred vision of the surface, since the greatness of her work lies in
the much rarer faculty, which she possesses, of being able to focus on
the inner significances.” J. C. L.
