“His dream fantasies of Sir Roger de Coverley are light and charming. But though the reader cannot help being pleased at the ability which a man so learned shows in the rôle of a general writer, he will realize when he finds him touching but ever so lightly on his own subject, as in some passages on William Robertson Smith, that the other was after all only journalism of moderate merit and that what he admired in it was extrinsic.”
