“This volume is a collection of articles which appeared during the past twenty-four years in various American and English periodicals of the better class. By the author the book is described as ‘a chapter from certain Memoirs that [he] intends to retain in manuscript penes se.’ The articles are occasional in origin, and in character they are miscellaneous, varying in topic from discussions of card-playing and tobacco to appreciations of Tennyson and Renan on the occasion of their deaths.”—Am. Hist. R.

“At one time Mr. Harrison goes to the bottom of his subject, at another he merely touches its surface. Still these ‘Memories and thoughts,’ if approached with an open mind, will be found to reflect seriousness of purpose and insight into life. They frequently provoke dissent, they never forfeit respect.”
