Extracts from Early Reviews
"At length the war has given us a much bigger and deeper book of prophecy, and the man who has written it is the ablest and most unpopular figure in contemporary England. It will outlive the war by many a year and decade. Mr. Russell has written a big and living book. We question whether a more brilliant statement of the Liberal philosophy has been written since the last world war created Liberalism."—The Nation.
"Mr. Bertrand Russell has written a thoroughly mischievous book, and it is all the more mischievous because, being a cultivated man, he has at his service a felicitous literary style which may possess some attractions for the unwary minds of prejudiced partisans and loose thinkers."—Lord Cromer in the Spectator.
"Essentially a discussion rather of principles than of any definite programme, being an examination and comparison of the possessive and the creative impulses."—Times.
"Mr. Russell's principles are, with few exceptions, of the very best."—Westminster Gazette.
"Mr. Russell … brings no comfort to the enemy, whom he severely trounces for their crime against civilization."—Land and Water.
