“Mr Mencken’s translation of Nietzsche’s last considerable work is lively and energetic, and his introduction is a happy example of his critical writing.”

The simple uneventful chronicle of a Scotch clergyman’s family, told in a leisurely manner. The father is a genial egotist who had preached to Queen Victoria at Balmoral and who never lets this fact be lost sight of. The story follows the course of the six children’s lives after his death, telling of their worldly success, business affairs, love affairs and marriages. For a time three of the brothers conduct a book store and circulating library, of which an amusing account is given.
