...good as this, one hopes that the series will cease only at the crack o' doom. Such praise is excessive, to be sure, but it is with genuine ardor that one turns these pages in search of reproductions of his favorites. It will serve no purpose to quarrel with Mr. Wickham over his omissions, which were necessary if the book was not to become fat like the volumes of van Marle. You will find Titian's "Charles V," and you will rejoice if you like that portrait; you will also find Botticelli's "Venus," Raphael's "Julius II," and Leonardo...
...though every now and then stated bluntly, that post-war, diplomacy is less effectual than pre-war, and less commendable in that it claims loftier motives. The author's disillusionment with the League's handling of the chief disputes referred to it is amply justified.

Dickens is only a mild expletive to most moderns, but to some it is still a fighting word. In the ebbtide quarrel about whether Dickens was an overrated hypocrite or a great man who actually got his due, Author Kingsmill tries to stir up the dying ripples whereas Author Maurois does his tactful best to pour oil on them. U. S. readers, not because they have read Dickens' vituperative American Notes or Martin Chuzzlewit but because Kingsmill's attack is more convincing than Maurois' defense, will be inclined to agree that Dickens was not all his partisans...
