"Whether it is Saxon kinship or the fine qiialities of the collec- 

 tion, we have found this volume the most entertaining of the three. 

 Its riotous absurdities well overbalance its examples of the oppres- 

 sively heavy. . . . The national impulse to make fun of the 

 war correspondent has a capital example in the skit from Juliu- 

 Stettenheim." — New York Independent.
