rs in fine,
broad, sweeping strokes with a magnificent disregard for
unimportant details. ... A distinctly original and very
valuable contribution to the world's tiny musical literature."

"In 'The Spiral Road' and in some of the other stories both
fantasy and narrative may be compared with Hawthorne in his
most unearthly moods. The younger man has read his Nietzsche
and has cast off his heritage of simple morals. Hawthorne's
Puritanism finds no echo in these modern souls, all sceptical,
wavering and unblessed. But Hawthorne's splendor of vision and
his power of sympathy with a tormented mind do live again in
the best of Mr. Huneker's stories."
--London Academy (Feb. 3, 1906).
MELOMANIACS 12mo. $1.50 net
"It would be difficult to sum up 'Melomaniacs' in a phrase.
Never did a book, in my opinion at any rate, exhibit greater
contrasts, not, perhaps, of strength and weakness, but of
clearness and obscurity."
--HAROLD E. GORST, in London Saturday Review.
