"The Wrong and Peril of Woman Suffrage."
By James M. Buckley. Bound in red cloth, back and side stamp in white: Price 75 cents net. Fleming H. Revell Company, New York, Chicago, and London. He who writes on the other side of the woman suffrage question under the present trend of opinion, must be brave, and willing to become unpopular in large circles. Dr. Buckley, the editor of the Christian Advocate (New York), has the courage of his conviction; and he presents some strong, clear arguments against woman suffrage. He presents these arguments not because he despises woman, or does not to the full recognize her superior gifts, her rightful position in life, her power, her great influence for good, but because he does so recognize the rightful exalted place of woman. The book is "dedicated to men and women who look before they leap." In twenty-five short, pointed chapters, the author quite thoroly covers the ground. He reviews the movement in different lands, discusses the nature of womanhood in relation to society, gives us five chapters in the refutation of arguments for woman suffrage, shows the results of trials, and presents seven chapters of vital objections against it. The last article of Dr. Buckley's "creed" is as follows: "I believe that there are two objects in nature alike obnoxious—a mannish woman and a womanish man; also in the wisdom as well as the wit of the toast offered at a banquet, a day after woman suffrage went into effect in one of the states of the Union: 'The ladies: Our superiors yesterday, our equals to-day.'" Those who wish an instructive handbook on the subject, will not be disappointed in the above work.
