"There is a lot of stuff in this book....My opinion is that it is well worth a few hours of careful study." -Unity Magazine

"These papers deal with some of the various principles underlying the course of political movements in the present age." -Outlook

"It is a book which deals with the components of what one may well consider as the life blood of the British nation. Dr. Petrie, with his unequaled knowledge of the past of the great Egyptian as well as Roman Empires, is able to make comparisons which are startling." -Publishers' Circular and Booksellers' Record

"A study on historical and logically scientific principles of present-day political tendencies." -Tribune

"This book is a noteworthy contribution to the interpretation of history and application to modern life....It consists of a series of shrewd criticisms and suggestions with regard to present-day legislation. Particularly penetrating are his remarks upon socialism." -Morning Post

"It is deeply interesting, and no person who watches social evolution attentively ought to miss reading it." -Morning Leader

"The book may be profitably studied as the result of an acute mind working upon one line of political thought." -Times

"A development in some measure from Professor Petrie's recent Huxley lecture. The study looks before and behind and deals with such present day problems as race and immigration, communism, philanthropy, and individualism in relation to historical philosophy." -Book Review Digest

"The burden of what the author has to say is 'that all our modern efforts for the bettering of the race by saving the weaker individual rigors of competition tend to degrade the race.'" -The New York Times
