...painstaking accuracy, is also witness to the fact that at times a journalist can be less interesting than a politician. One suspects an industrious correspondent of poring over back newspaper files and making a conscientious if uninspired summary. At times he is distressingly literal and like Mr. Washburn submits frequent homilies on the humbler virtues. He does not vapor, however, about the broodings of Fate. Some extracts...
...question remains how, if three parties are to remain, is the nation to be guarded against too frequent dissolutions? I should on no ground leave to the monarch the invidious and dangerous task of being the guardian. . . . Looking ahead, however, one of two things may have to be done. The present maximum life of the House of Commons is five years. Shall we be driven to fix a minimum? If we were it ought not to be more than three years.

His style is rather anecdotal than analytic, rather active than beautiful. Unassigned quotations are frequent. Meticulous accuracy of detail, one is tempted to suspect, occasionally is permitted to give way to the larger accuracy of the complete picture. His manner is rather journalistic than literary. His irony, running through the sketches in a constant undercurrent, is a little heavy. His stiletto lacks the keenness of Strachey's. But his subjects are well chosen...
