By PRESCOTT F. HALL, A.B., LL.B., Secretary of the Immigration Restriction League. 393 pp. $1.50 net. By mail, $1.65.
”Should prove interesting to everyone. Very readable, forceful and convincing. Mr. Hall considers every possible phase of this great question and does it in a masterly way that shows not only that he thoroughly understands it, but that he is deeply interested in it and has studied everything bearing upon it.”--_Boston Transcript._
”A readable work containing a vast amount of valuable information.
Especially to be commended is the discussion of the racial effects. As a trustworthy general guide it should prove a G.o.dsend.”--_N.Y. Evening Post._
”Earnest and unprejudiced.... Cannot fail to be of great a.s.sistance in clarifying and setting on a solid foundation the ideas of people who are now becoming convinced that the problems of immigration in the nation and the munic.i.p.ality will soon reach a more acute stage than ever before.”--_Philadelphia Press._
”An auspicious omen of the worth of Messrs. Henry Holt and Company's recently announced series on American Public Problems.... Mr. Hall has been in close touch with the immigration movement and he writes with a grasp and a fullness of information which must commend his work to every reader.... A handbook ... to which one may turn conveniently for information for which he would otherwise be obliged to search through many a dusty doc.u.ment.”--_The World To-day._

”Able and dispa.s.sionate, and ought to be widely read.”--_New York Commercial._
