FRANCIS GRIERSON
THE HUMOUR OF THE UNDERMAN
The London Evening News:—"'The Humour of the Underman' is a classic. The work will rank among the great books of the century if only for the rarity and beauty of its literary expression."
The London Telegraph:—"In 'The Humour of the Underman' there is a delicacy, a skilfullness, an ease of manner, and a consummate sense of style. Here is the short epigrammatic way of putting things which is Emerson's way, but the successive sentences are less staccato than in the work of the Concord Sage; there is added to it something of the delicacy, the ease, the grace of the French."
THE INVINCIBLE ALLIANCE
Austin Harrison, Editor of The English Review:—"Mr. Grierson's essays are masterpieces of lucid expression and condensed though. In 'The Invincible Alliance' he puts his index finger on the weak places—on snobbery on politics, on music, on the clergy, on the English point of view, which is twenty years behind Continental thought.... We believe him to be absolutely right."
Dr. Samuel P. Orth, Professor of Political Science at Cornell, in a page review of the book in the N. Y. Times:—"In 'The Invincible Alliance' Mr. Grierson touches prophetic heights. His analytical gift is a sort of intellectual clairvoyance."
ILLUSIONS AND REALITIES OF THE WAR
The New York Sun:—"Mr. Grierson's volume on the war is the rarest book of the year."
