...chapter is followed by an intelligent bibliography. The individual estimates of authors in general avoid the irrelevant. The illustrations are for the most part well chosen. The whole slips down the throat as easily as junket. And if at times the book unavoidably reminds one of a somewhat hurried torchlight procession of famous literary figures - that is doubtless unavoidable. Considering what was attempted it is really extraordinary that what has been done should have been done so well...

When the newspapers refer to the Republican torchlight parades in Boston and New York as "old fashioned," we are not to picture a good, old fashioned political riot such as Mr. Pickwick was accustomed to. On the contrary the parade this evening is to be carefully arranged and conducted. Modern election days are no longer marvels of fraud and diplomatic violence; but modern campaigns are almost as disgusting in their methods as the fraud of the old time elections. If the present fashion calls for sarcasm, petty arguing and calling of names by rival candidates and rival newspapers, sly attacks...
