His writing is like that of a more natural Euphues, his epigrams, which slip off his pen easily, are culled from the homely English proverbs, and his whole outlook is informed by-a-sweet-reasonableness- and the beauty of holiness.
It is pleasant, therefore, to have access to his prose works in auch an attractive edition as this, limit- ed though it is to 500 sets. Miss Kentish Wright, in an informative introduction, makes a valuable point in suggesting that to get the best out of so shrewd, charming, humorous and quiet a writer we need to read him aloud.
