“Whoever has the courage to plow through or the inspired wisdom to skip that dismal first volume will find that in the second, beginning with Defoe and coming down to Thackeray, there is a really interesting account of the English literature of roguery, punctuated with pertinent critical remarks, and delivered like a man of this world.”

Channing, Elizabeth Parsons. Autobiography and diary: gleanings of a thoughtful life. *$1. Am. Unitar.
7–25238.
A diary kept by the author during more than thirty years. The aim of Miss Channing’s friends in offering the volume is to lead to a “closer realization of the value of clear thinking and sincere feeling in things religious ... to promote reverence for things deep and true, love for things high and holy, patience in trial, and above all, faith in God.”
“Her diary is the simple record of a thoughtful mind, essentially womanly, carrying on homely tasks with patience, yet capable of sharing in the world’s movements.”
