WILLOUGHBY, D. About it and about. *$5 Dutton 824
(Eng ed 20–10519)
“These essays, most of which appeared in Everyman, consist of comment on questions of the day, written from a ‘moderate’ point of view.” (Ath My 21 ’20) “Roughly speaking, Mr Willoughby touches on all the burning or still glowing topics of the day, on peace and war, on housing, on labour, on Ireland, on servants civil and domestic, and many other more or less immediate doubts and difficulties.” (Ath Je 11 ’20)
“Readably and brightly written.”

“The rational good-humor characteristic of the book, a really precious quality at this time, naturally brims over in laughter, spontaneous and frequent enough to convey to the reader a feeling of expectant animation. Occasionally, the easy note of mirth has been forced.” F. W. S.

“A witty, animated, keen-sighted, judicious and mature product of journalism. Informing and revealing sentences abound.”
