...British Coronation, is never rehearsed. Canonizations "being purely religious exercises the idea of rehearsal is repugnant. . . . These grandiose functions are held at such in frequent intervals that the performers, except the Pope, the Pontifical Court and the College of Cardinals are never the same.

The conditions that prevail in the mob that surges around the goal posts are practically ideal for accustomed law-breakers: a great mass of people crashing against each other all intent upon some noble objective and unmindful of skillful snatch artists examining the contents...
...Enemy Gods follows the general theme of Author La Farge's previous Indian fiction: the poor results of trying to adapt Indians to white wavs. The variation this time is a more ambitious social and political background. On the literary side the novel's chief failings appear at those points where the anthropologist, the sociologist and the novelist could not get together...
