...socialist and looks for no good results from our present social organization. He is annoyed to see people who are "comfortable" morally, because they have established a new public school, when they ought to be uncomfortable; and he tries to make them uncomfortable by his writings. He is really one of the most serious of men; but he uses his great power of sarcasm to bring home the meaning of what he writes, and every word he writes is not intended to be taken seriously.

Some of his plays criticise the present social order and some of the socialists of today.

The verse is weakened in places by unnecessary repetition of words and phrases: "that drift--that drift," "wild, wild symphony," and several other expressions. The weird, solemn picture...
...hearty word of congratulation for the victorious football team. The number concludes with a sharp condemnation of Herrick's novel "Together"; for such reviews of books more space should be allowed. On the whole the number of the Monthly must be adjudged to be a very good one...
