‘*New Thought” has suffered so much from the bad 
English and philosophic obtuseness of its exponents that one 
is glad at last to find a book written not only in good English 
but also with a precision of thought, a sequence of ideas that 
are understandable and answerable. Mr. Kirkham expounds 
a practical philosophy, a popular philosophy. Let us know 
the truth, because it will keep us well and sane.—Mew York 
Times. 
Mr. Kirkham’s work is distinguished by its sanity, its 
vigorous logic, and its directness and clarity of thought.—

abundant knowledge, and admirable vigor and lucidity of 
style, should give his book a wide field of influence.—Chicago

appeal to the inquirer.— Detroit Free Press,
