“These essays are energizing, sound, and wholesome. They deserve to be
widely read.”--_Chicago Tribune._
“These are papers of sterling merit, well worth perusing, and
deserving their rescue from the files of the periodicals in which
they first appeared, to form a more easily accessible volume. Mr.
Roosevelt’s reputation as a municipal reformer should secure them a
wide sale.”--_Detroit Free Press._

“Regarded merely as studies in language, these orations contain some
of the most eloquent and persuasive speeches in the English tongue.
But more than this, the present collection has a permanent historical
value which can hardly be overestimated. The very spirit of the times
is preserved in these utterances; and, presented in this cogent form,
history in a peculiar sense repeats itself to the reader, who feels
the impulse of past events and the vitality of great principles behind
them.”--_School Journal._
