This is perhaps the best of Mr. Bruce's books. The subject matter unfolds itself without effort on the part of the reader, which means that although it is all presented in the simplest way that that simplicity has been attained by infinite pains. Mr. Bruce perhaps says nothing new and he does not claim to have said anything new, but he has thought over the problems of living in all their various aspects as they come into relation with modern circumstances and conditions. He has chosen his examples from the circumstances of life as they arise in the days of the average man and he has chosen them well. There is a maximum of such examples sprinkled with well chosen quotations and all presented in a way to captivate the attention. It is good advice attractively presented.
