...When Conrad portrays sea characters with his great simplicity of style, they seem real and living, but when he applies this same simplicity to his landmine, he unaccountably loses that genuineness of character which makes his seamen so famous", said Mr. George E.

He takes the facts of life for granted and proceeds from that basis to write of the things which lead away from life. Only think what a book Carl Van Vechten or Floyd Dell might have written if either one of them had been, like Jeffery Farnol, a stagehand and a scene painter on Broadway for two years-or perhaps it would have cured them. At any rate, let us thank Heaven for the Jeffery Farnols, the Oppenheims, the Buchans, the McCutcheons...
