“It is indeed a patient, accurate literalness which chiefly distinguishes this book. We get the facts, it is true, but in the end feel somewhat deprived of that spirit which animates and transcends mere fact—a spirit which Whistler himself possesses in so abounding a degree and which he would seem to demand of others.” Christian Brinton.

Casson, Herbert Newton. Romance of steel: the story of a thousand millionaires. **$2.50. Barnes.
7–25647.
“Not so much a history of the steel industry itself as of the successive efforts to capitalize that industry and of the personal careers of the men whose fortunes have been made in steel-making, although they themselves were in most instances as ignorant of the industrial processes by which their wealth was gained as the average man in the street.”—R. of Rs.
“Mr. Casson’s story has the merit of being remarkably inclusive, on the historic and physical sides, as well as in its personal aspects.”
