Couch, Arthur Thomas Quiller- (“Q,” pseud.). From a Cornish window. *$1.50. Dutton.
This reflective and discursive “volume is somewhat arbitrarily divided into twelve chapters named after twelve months. Cornish matters, so far as treated at all, are more particularly discussed in ‘August’ and ‘December’; the other chapters handle at random, literature and life and politics and education. The writer’s unenthusiastic estimate of ‘our modern bards of empire,’ whom he finds lacking in high seriousness and any recognition of the human soul, is to be noted with approval. In the sober month of November he indulges in reflections on this human soul’s ultimate destiny.”—Dial.

“Despite occasional dull pages in these random outpourings, our popular story-teller ‘Q’ is worth reading in his more serious moods.”
