'A book has recently been published, entitled 'A Primer of the War for Americans," which both for the idea that dominates it and for the material it contains deserves, at a time like the present, a more prominent position than is usually accorded to reviews. It is an attempt on the part of an American, Mr. J. William White, to extract from the mass of controversial literature which the war has produced the points essential to a just appreciation of the issues for which five nations are fighting. The author's purpose grew out of a desire to feel thoroughly satisfied that before coming to any final conclusion in regard to the rights and wrongs of the struggle he had weighed, deliberately and conscientiously, all the available evidence.
