...careless in places, and suggests the approach of the end of the year. "We had reached the Fayoum after a long day's travel over the desert the night before," would hardly be expected on an entrance examination. D. Carb's "Ellen Terry" is a thoughtful and well-written appreciation, and R. Altrocchi's "Vaudeville" an excellent bit of satire...

The Monthly might do well to give more room, along with its deeper and more analytic criticism, to such light, well-phrased and purely appreciative essays...
