New York Examiner: “Poland is a very interesting country, and Mr. Van Norman has given us an extremely entertaining and informing account of the people, their towns and institutions and characteristics. The volume is beautifully illustrated, and is most entertainingly written.”
Newark Evening News: “These impressions are valuable, because they are honest, the outcome of deep insight, careful observation and broad outlook. As a commentary on Poland’s history as well as its strategic position, the volume is exactly what will be welcomed by the man seeking to be well informed. Mr. Van Norman possesses the comprehensive grasp that reduces matters to their essentials; his book is really the story of the inter-relations of four men, the Pole, the German, the Russian and the Austrian.”
Denver Republican: “Mr. Van Norman is known as a fine and conscientious writer. His expressed views will be accepted as the careful statements of a thorough investigator.”
Kansas City Star: “Vaguely in every reader’s mind, there arises a suggestion of a romance and adventure when Poland has mention . . . a satisfying book about the land and its people, its fascinating history and its modern aspect.”
San Francisco Chronicle: “This does not pretend to be a complete history of Poland, although it presents the salient events in her history, but is an interpretation of a people’s great virtues, ideals, talents, genius. An appreciative foreword by Mme. Modjeska and interesting illustrations add to the attraction of the book, which is sold at a remarkably low price, considering its size, its handsome appearance and its literary quality.”
