...verses "On Visiting the Revere" form the most striking contribution to the number, while, of the remaining poems, it is perhaps enough to say that, with possibly a single exception, all are worthy of the place they have won in the Advocate. The stories, too, are well written, though slight and immature artistically, as compared with the verse, and depend too exclusively for their effectiveness upon some simple, strong, unshaded contrast, or upon some element of surprise--extravagant or farcical--in the denouement. Except in "A Fool," by Mr. Putnam, there is little attempt at characterization, and even here...
...sake but in order to prevent the spread of contagion. It is with this motive in view that the following early symptoms common to measles and German measles are given. There is usually a "cold in the head," which may or may not be associated with sneezing; a slight cough; occasional chilly sensations; a feeling of weakness and there may be a headache with more or less general aches and pains.

He makes his point more clearly in "The Divine Moment" than in "Walls of Stone...
...part really cannot be praised too highly. In the first place, it is a role essentially suited to a great actor, not a star, but an actor. Though the play consists of more than three hours of solid conversation, Mr. Faversham's share in it is comparatively slight compared to the dreadful bulk. None the less, it is necessary that he dominate the stage three-fourths of the time. He succeeds in doing this inimitably. He presents an almost perfect picture of a gentle, super-intelligent worldling, with a touch of typically Shavian spirituality, a kind of Fenelon in gaiters...
