...uniquely modern and sincere patriotism with an equally rare sense of proportion. Yet throughout the course of events which he vividly depicts--here in minute detail--there is sweeping epic style--and here again with a touch of human sympathy--one finds that justice has been a main chord. South and North, each has its turn--probably the reason both these sections of our country have acclaimed the book as a classic. A striking feature is the manner in which Benet handles such a wide field. One might say the war is dealt with in terms of various imaginary individuals...
...posterity. Such a document is often a summary of previous implications: and here are the echoes of many a famous "preface" concerning religion, eugenics, education, professional morality, economics-in short, society. But the echoes are measured and stressed in a grand symphony of discord for which the resolving chord is equality of income.

Ibsen, like Shakespeare, is in no great danger of growing antiquated; but if he were, his services in throwing aside the torpid and illusive glow of Romanticism, that had so long held European literature entranced, would still be invaluable. As so often happens...
...deserved more notice than it got), is the best of the drawings. But Personalities No. 5. is good also. And anyway who cares if the drawing is not on a par with what the Department of Fine Arts has been able to produce? The sketches also struck a responsive chord in me--particularly a small sketch hidden away on page 289, untitled, unadorned. There is no use in going over the whole number in these columns, they suit better their natural habitat. Let the Jester mourn. When he does, we can smile; it is only when he is rioting...
