"This product is clearly the work of a man of large and expansive sympathies, and a high order of intellect. It shows the manifold spiritual and other difficulties which such a man meets with when he begins to think for himself, and to see the world with his own eyes. It also shows how [unclear: he] reaches spiritual assurance and intellectually [unclear: evolves] order from chaos, and reaches that point of view whence he can look forward with strengthening hopefulness for himself and his fellowmen." Evening Press, Wellington.

"The writer has chosen for his theme the [unclear: reflections] of a man who, sincere in his search [unclear: for] truth, has cast off from the old faiths, and [unclear: finds] himself afloat on a sea of doubts, without [unclear: compas] or guide. In the distance the 'harbour lights' of mental certainty seem to gleam, and the [unclear: intense] longing of the traveller to reach the port is [unclear: shown] in every line of the work."—Fair Play, Wellington 1893.

"The book is worth reading and will repay [unclear: any] time devoted to it."—Herald, Wellington, 1893.

"'At The Cross-Roads' is the title of a [unclear: poetic] pamphlet by 'J.T.W.' Its author is evidently [unclear: of] man of keen and deep thought, and one who [unclear: has] given much attention to 'the proper study of [unclear: mankind].' He expresses himself in excellent [unclear: bla] verse."—Evening Post, Wellington, 1893.
