164 pages. Post 4to. Printed on art paper, with attractive paper cover. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/9. A book that is a pleasure to handle as it is an education and inspiration to read. Mr. Strong does not belong to the School of Dryasdust, he treats his books as human documents, and his literary friends as beings of flesh and blood. The breadth of his range and the freshness of this point of view are seen by a glance at the titles of his Essays, which range from "The Devil" to "The Faith of Shelley," and from "Rabelais" to "Nietzsche." "Both in its grave and gay moods the book is one of unusual charm."—Literary World. |
