_New York Examiner_: “Poland is a very interesting country, and Mr. Van
Norman has given us an extremely entertaining and informing account
of the people, their towns and institutions and characteristics. The
volume is beautifully illustrated, and is most entertainingly written.”
_Newark Evening News_: “These impressions are valuable, because they
are honest, the outcome of deep insight, careful observation and broad
outlook. As a commentary on Poland’s history as well as its strategic
position, the volume is exactly what will be welcomed by the man
seeking to be well informed. Mr. Van Norman possesses the comprehensive
grasp that reduces matters to their essentials; his book is really the
story of the inter-relations of four men, the Pole, the German, the
Russian and the Austrian.”
_Denver Republican_: “Mr. Van Norman is known as a fine and
conscientious writer. His expressed views will be accepted as the
careful statements of a thorough investigator.”
_Kansas City Star_: “Vaguely in every reader’s mind, there arises a
suggestion of a romance and adventure when Poland has mention ... a
satisfying book about the land and its people, its fascinating history
and its modern aspect.”
_San Francisco Chronicle_: “This does not pretend to be a complete
history of Poland, although it presents the salient events in her
history, but is an interpretation of a people’s great virtues, ideals,
talents, genius. An appreciative foreword by Mme. Modjeska and
interesting illustrations add to the attraction of the book, which is
sold at a remarkably low price, considering its size, its handsome
appearance and its literary quality.”
