“I must express the joy I have had, the enthusiasm I have felt, in gloating over every page of what I believe is the most brilliant book of any season since Carlyle’s and Emerson’s pens were laid aside.... It is full of humor, rich in style, and eccentric in form, all suffused with the perfervid genius of a man who is not merely a thinker but a force.”—Wm. Sloane Kennedy in Boston Transcript.
