...afflicted, said alienists, with chronic hallucinatory paranoia. This is a disease which develops very slowly, coming to maturity in middle life, and characterized by delusions of persecution or grandeur. To the persecution type belong persons such as Miss Gibson who are driven by fear and hate to attack their imaginary persecutors. The grandeur type develops, in rare instances, into such "supermen" of genius, energy, and egotism as Napoleon (now generally considered a paranoiac). This opinion is not shocking if it be recalled that science no longer conceives of two classes of persons: the "sane" and the "insane." The "sane...
...Unwieldy size and staggering columns of type have driven hordes of people to the comforting refuge of the tabloids." This battle cry of tabloids was recently advanced by one of Bernarr Macfadden's subordinates on the New York Evening Graphic. Whether tabloids are a "comforting refuge" is questionable, but the fact remains that the full-sized newspapers have taken on an alarming bulk since the World War.

Mr. Sherman's tastes were notoriously catholic; and here he shows, regrettably for the last time, an ability to be all things to all men that is as refreshing as note worthy...
Such technicalities, however, cannot mar the excellence of the book as a whole. Its compact size, its wide variety--and the fine Essay on Poetry which Professor Gay has prefixed to his choices, should make it one of the most popular books of its type. As a collection of English and American verse from the Middle English period to the present time it is the best small book yet published...
