Maitland, Frederic William. Life and letters of Leslie Stephen. *$4.50. Putnam.
7–15902.
The biographer holds the reader’s attention close to the moral and intellectual qualities “which gradually made Leslie Stephen the first among English critics and thinkers and one of the most influential among English moralists.” (Nation.) “Quite apart from the admirable literary form of the record, Professor Maitland has presented us with the portrait of an intensely human character, who took life, sunshine and thunder alike, with a free forehead and a free heart.” (Sat. R.)
“Will amply repay reading.”
