"Mr. Williams has had the good fortune—it really seems largely a matter of luck in many cases—to treat his fresh material with a simplicity which imparts a sense of strong reality. The newspaper life has a lasting fascination for any one who has ever known it, and I think the most ignorant must feel something of its charm in these tales."—W. D. Howells in Literature.

"This is not, however, a volume of moral essays on journalism; it is first and last a collection of stories, told in a compressed, rapid style that carries you along with something of the zest that took possession of Billy Woods when he was on the track of a beat."—Droch in Life.

"Told with such fidelity and skill as to command the attention and favorable comment of the men who make newspapers."—Chester S. Lord, Managing Editor of the New York Sun, in the Book Buyer.
