Mr. Dorsey's new book, The Nature of Man, is perhaps

something of a disappointment, although the amount of information he has compressed into a hundred pages would suffice to enable us to recommend the book, if only as a tour de force. We cannot follow the author always, for he seems some- times to be running a race with time and unable to stop to fill in the gaps in his reasoning—as, for instance, when he says that fine arts, ethics, literature, moral values, intellectual pursuits, &c., are all on a par with fashions in hats and tastes in tics.. We suggest to Mr. Dorsey, not without diffidence, that he is entirely wrong. This book is not up to the level of Why We Behave Like Human Beings,. but it is decidedly worth reading.
