This collection of saunters through the literary world includes the following essays: “Travelling Companions,” “The Classics in Daily Life,” “A Ramble in Pliny’s Letters,” “The Art of Editing,” “Poets as Critics,” “A Short Study in Words,” “Single-Poem Poets,” “The Charm of the Greek Anthology,” and a conversational preface on the pleasurable writing of each piece. The Bookman said the work “fittingly rounded off the life’s work of a man full in the sense of Bacon’s aphorism, and a gifted and ready writer.”
