“‘The Second Generation’ promises to become one of the notable novels of the year.  It will be read and discussed while a less vigorous novel will be forgotten within a week.”—­Springfield Union.

“David Graham Phillips has a way, a most clever and convincing way, of cutting through the veneer of snobbishness and bringing real men and women to the surface.  He strikes at shams, yet has a wholesome belief in the people behind them, and he forces them to justify his good opinions.”—­Kansas City Times.
