The first of these papers is Religio Grammatici (the Religion of a Man of Letters), and the phrase might almost serve as a title for the whole book. It deals with many current questions of philosophy and literature, such as Stoicism, Inspiration, the Soul, the Theory of Poetry, Empire and Rebellion, from the point of view of one whose chief teachers on these subjects have been the ancient Greeks with whom such studies began.

This is a book that will be talked about. Mr. Pearson has the knack of revealing the essential characteristics of the famous men he has known. The book contains studies of, among others, Bernard Shaw, Frank Harris, Sir Francis Galton, Sir Herbert Tree, Sir George Alexander, Robert Ross, and Lytton Strachey. Besides these, the author has rubbed shoulders with many popular idols, whom he has managed to catch off their pedestals, including: Lloyd George, Dean Inge, G. K. Chesterton, Horatio Bottomley, Hall Caine, H. G. Wells, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Arthur Bourchier, Edmund Gosse, Joseph Conrad, Mrs. Asquith, Winston Churchill.
