...Noyes began to appear. The pioneers in this branch of study in America have been Professor Hazelton Spencer of Johns Hopkins, Professor A. C. Sprague of Harvard and Professor Leslie Hotson of Haverford College. With this book Dr. Noyes joins that company of specialists and adds the account of Ben Jonson's fate during the Restoration and the XVIIIth century to the tales already told of how Shakespeare was 'improved' or adapted to the tastes and prejudices of our ancestors, and how Beaumont and Fletcher fared...

Not by polishing up the handle of the big front door but by hard work, taciturn zeal and plenty of fighting skill did Togo become Admiral of the Son of Heaven's navy. When he first entered...
...through all the paces of suspense it turns out to be not a murder story at all. Harriet Vane, heroine of a previous book (in which she was rescued from the gallows by the Pimpernellian sleuth, Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey), is a successful writer of detective stories. On account of the notoriety her trial has given her, she is a little too famed for comfort. But she wants to see her old college again, so accepts the invitation to attend the Shrewsbury gaudy. The week-end reunion is pleasanter than she expects: everyone remembers her and most are friendly...
