_The Spectator_ (London)--"While affording the easiest of reading,
nevertheless touches deep issues deeply and fine issues finely. Not
only thinks himself, but makes you think ... wise and witty....
Whether dealing with death and immortality, or riches and Socialism,
he always contrives to be pungent and interesting and yet urbane, for
there is no attempt either at flashy cynicism or cheap epigram....
We advise our readers to read carefully the admirable passage about
Socialism and Bagshot's defence of Aristotle's 'magnificent man.'"
