Review: his method of treating moral offences is that of our more intelligent penologists....In 'Erewhon' there are meanings within meanings; and each fresh mutation of life throws some new characteristic of 'Erewhon' into relief....If 'Erewhon' is not the best of Butler's books, it remains for many reasons the most important. It is the war of a kindly, straightforward spirit with sham, bigotry, humbug, pretension, cant, affectation, stupidity. Once set out on that campaign, Butler never retreated....If he does not always seem to fight on the side of the angels, it is perhaps because the angels have a horrid way of getting into bad company.'
