readableness, is the wide range of its information.... The points of
view offered are many and diversified.... No argument worth using is
left unused.”--_The Evening Mail._
“The subjects discussed include the causes and consequences of war;
modern warfare; private war and the duel; perpetual peace or the
federation of the world; arbitration, the political economy of war,

it is widely read.”--Editorial in _The Boston Herald_.

they bring to the symposium wide reading in the literature of the
subject, logical powers and a persuasive manner of speaking. ‘The
Arbiter in Council’ may be regarded as a conspectus of the best
thought on warfare, especially in relation to the topic of universal
peace.”--_Philadelphia Press._
