...more diversion is about to be taken from the holiday pilgrims of Massachusetts highways. After the first of July, billboards of excessive size are to be razed, and among them those which mark the sites of first houses, Indian massacres, and colonial gin-mills.

Nor do they permit themselves any unduly meretricious display of mastery: restraint and directness of style mark each story in turn. I cannot think any of the work, however, able as it is, distinguished by an authentic and native gift...
