Thus in two sentences the President of the United States was devastated, last week, by "Pertinax," unquestionably the leading political critic-journal list of France.

What seduces the young reviewer is the attitude and opinions of his olders. For a youthful critic to enter into a rhapsody over "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" merely because it is highly commended by those who ought to know and not because it seems to him an extremely well written book is an unfortunate example of plagiarism. The Algonquin circle may like it; the higher literati may like it; but if this particular book...
