...approached, last week, another major cure experiment. Coming to a head was a plan for a businessman's administration. The plan, as announced by Silas Hardy Strawn, onetime (1927-28) president of the U. S.

Three more are, maliciously, "ideal"-the wives of Swinburne, de Goncourt, and Henry James (he, of course, runs away from his on the first day of the honeymoon). But the "real" outclass the "ideal" in artistic creation, and prove "the skittish muse of intimate biography," Clio's charming handmaiden...
...with divers kinds of creatures, rising one above another, by so gentle an ascent, that the transitions from one species to another are almost insensible. . . . The ape is this rough draught of man: this rude sketch. . . ." Indeed Wesley had written A Survey of the Wisdom of God in the Creation: or, A Compendium of Natural Philosophy.
