“Mr. Jenks does not attempt to go into over-much detail in recounting his subject’s life. His effort is rather to give a rapid moving picture of the man’s development from childhood and of his years of struggle and final success. And this he projects against a background of the chief events of the time in England, upon the continent, and in America.”—N. Y. Times.
