Chapter XIV: Preface (14)

Presents the personal history of this great humorist of the middle eighteenth century with some account of the men and women whom he knew at home and abroad. It tells what sort of man Sterne was, how he lived in his obscurity and after he became famous, what he did and what he said, what books he read, what were his pastimes and pleasures, what was his home life, who were his friends, wherein lay the secret of the man “whose speech and conduct filled the imaginations of all who knew him immediately, whether in New York, London or Paris.”

“A brave and splendid achievement, an enduring monument to the author’s industry, and worthy tribute to that unique and whimsical genius, to whom we owe one of the very few perfect and indispensable things in English literature, ‘The sentimental journey.’” F: T. Cooper.

“Professor Cross has produced the fullest and most complete life of Sterne which has been published. In more than one way it is exhaustive. Is written in an interesting and entertaining manner.”

“When all deductions are made, this Life of Sterne, which is every way as readable as Mr. Fitzgerald’s, decidedly improves upon the latter in fulness, accuracy, coherence, and impersonality.” S. L. Wolff.

9–26004.

Here Mr. Crothers sets down the varied and unexpectedly interesting things that Dr. Holmes as his own Boswell sees during the excursions that his mind took into the realms of fact and fancy, the excursions that are recorded in his “autocrat” series. Following the essay are eleven of Holmes’ best known poems.

* * * * *

“It takes a gentle humorist like Dr. Crothers to seize upon and set luminously before us the distinctive traits and qualities of that earlier master of gentle humor, the ever-delightful autocrat. A book holding so much good in so small compass as this centennial study of the autocrat is not met with every day.”

+ + =Dial.= 47: 239. O. 1, ’09. 350w.

“Nature intended Samuel McChord Crothers for the ideal celebrant of Dr. Holmes’s centenary, as any one may learn by reading the little volume.”

+ =Nation.= 89: 384. O. 21, ’09. 450w.

“An admirable analysis of the autocrat, his attitude, his spirit, and the quality of his insight.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 14: 725. N. 20, ’09. 420w.

“A very clever book, by no means lacking in critical insight, and certain to be entertaining.”

The two Englishmen who figure prominently in the book—Ferman Elwood, undemonstrative, determined, and loyal, and Guy Chalmer, fascinating, shallow, and unscrupulous—are vividly and carefully drawn: but the central incident of the story—the compact by which each undertakes to destroy his own life on an appointed day if he fails to secure the love of Elwood’s wife—is conventional and unconvincing.”—Ath.

“The author means to serve the general reader as well as the psychological and theological student; he has served him almost exclusively; for his generalizations are frequently much wider than the inductions on which they are built; his cases are gathered too much at haphazard; he is too prone to put forward the abnormal for the type, to permit him to be of much service to the serious student.”

“In the present volume Dr. Cutten has made a really valuable contribution to the psychology of religion—a contribution that may be welcomed all the more warmly in the present condition of the science because it is a collection of data rather than a presentation of a theory.

“The value of Dr. Cutten’s work is beyond dispute. In summarizing the best theories and ideas of the writers who have preceded him, and in advancing noteworthy ideas of his own, he has performed a service to modern religious thought which can scarcely be overestimated.

“A notable contribution to the modern clergyman’s library. In the main Dr. Cutten has done this work thoroughly and well.

9–25639.

A half dozen stories of the wooing or married state in which Mrs. Cutting portrays an even finer quality of loyalty and constancy than one finds in her former stories. For illustration, there is nothing better than “The wife,” in which a divorced woman refuses to marry again because she knows that, in spite of the fact that the husband has remarried, she herself is the one link he has with goodness, purity and the higher life; and rather than outrage that ideal, she denies herself the companionship and protection, in marriage, of a man who is in every way worthy of her.

A charming appreciation of Mr. Riley as he lives, laughs and sorrows with Lockerbie street. “In Lockerbie street he is one of the folks,” he visits the corner grocery, entertains troops of children, gives generously of his pennies and likewise of his genial, sympathetic personality. Why Mr. Riley has never married, the writer admits, is his own secret; why he stays away from church is summed up in the following: “I don’t go to church only when I have to. I can’t bear the awe and gloom. I don’t like worship that way. It ought to be cheerful and joyful.... It just sort o’ clabbers my mind to go to church.”

“Dahlke’s ‘Essays’ are a fair presentation of the religion of his Master; for the most part they give a presentation of the texts themselves, taken from the Middle collection of the second book of the Pali canon. They deal with Buddha’s life and with the teaching in regard to life, sorrow, Nirvana, God, morality, asceticism, etc. To these the author adds his own exegesis and conclusions.”—Nation.

The illustrations of English holly trees are exceedingly effective, and indicate the high value of the plants in the construction of picturesque combinations.... The volume contains much besides a mere botanical review of the holly. The patient box, which has borne so much mutilation from formal gardeners, and the sombre yew also, find here congenial treatment, but they and a few other evergreen trees are kept a little out of proportion by the greater space deservedly assigned to the hollies.”—Nation.

“The sympathy of Mr. Daly’s Italian lyrics even—and they are the best of his book—is not often wistful enough to be real.

The 1842 essay ... is simply a worker’s outline notes, preliminary to a careful setting forth of the subject.... It is interesting chiefly for two reasons: one, because the outline is Darwin’s—we see how the master worked; the other, because it, in connection with the 1844 essay, shows how his ideas changed and developed in the twenty years from 1839 when he read Malthus to 1859 when the ‘Origin’ appeared. The 1844 essay is much easier and more satisfactory reading than the earlier outline. It is a far more carefully prepared statement of the subject, which was originally written as a sort of ‘insurance policy’ on Darwin’s ideas as to the origin of species.”—Dial.

In ‘The crystal palace,’ ‘Rail and road,’ and others we have that genial satiric description of which Davidson is a master. Some of the songs once more display that birdlike note he had at his best; and we have more of the Eclogues which established his reputation with many.” (Ath.)

“We do not think the volume as a whole will add to the writer’s fame; but it will in no wise diminish it. There is nothing common or poor from cover to cover, and a reader who knew nothing of Davidson’s previous work might form from this small collection a not inadequate notion of his quality.”
