There is a curiously captivating quality about this volume of short
papers on everyday aspects of life. The author, for nearly 20
years a don at Eton, is by temperament a celibate and a recluse.
His personality is resolutely itself, to the point of utterly ignoring
the jangles of the world in whose practical concerns it is not
interested. His work should take a place among those little books
that bring a mood of peace and rest. Condensed from Outlook (Eng.),
1906.

History in Scott's novels; a literary sketch. 1905 r823 S43ZC

the references to historical facts and connects romance with truth.
Chateaubriand, Frangois Auguste, vicomte de.
