Even after allowing for the worst that the printer can have done to the English, one must blame the critic's botany. Mr. Mackaye, we are told, "is too sane and healthy to retch the infinite." Alas!

On the contrary, it is most attractive, and the most forceful indication of this is that many men who go for the first time in a skeptical frame of mind return the next year full of enthusiasm...
