“His private letters, of which Mr. Cushing has made a goodly collection are more illuminative of his character than his public papers. Mr. Cushing shows great industry in locating his material, but is much too sparing in his notes, leaving too many references unexplained. There are errors of dates and names, and a wrong committee of Congress is given in the note to p. 336.”

“As an immediate and effective solution of the main problem indicated by its title, this treatise may well prove less successful than as a manual of instruction in methods of mutual service and a plea for mutual sympathy and good-will.” Percy F. Bicknell.
