"When 'A Preface to Politics' was published, I ventured the opinion that it was the best book on politics since Walter Bagehot's 'Physics and Politics.' Now he has followed it with 'Drift and Mastery,' an even more brilliant performance." A PREFACE TO POLITICS _3rd Printing, $1.50 Net_ _The Boston Transcript_: "'A Preface to Politics' is its own complete and sufficient justification. In many respects it is the ablest brief book of its kind published during the last ten years. It has the supreme virtue of clearness aided by a style that is incisive and compelling." THE STAKES OF DIPLOMACY _4th Printing, cloth, $1.35 Net; paper, 60 cts. Net_ J. B. KERFOOT _in Life_: "It is a real joy to find it of the same order as 'A Preface to Politics.' It deals with human nature involved in international human relations impersonally, yet brings significances personally home to us. A book that widens horizons and quickens consciousness."
