PRESS OPINIONS

“Of such verve and spirit that we are carried along before we know where we are going, but always—essentially—in the right direction. Behind it is a fine and buoyant spirit, as well as an intelligence that really illuminates.”—Westminster Gazette.

“Mr. Chesterton has put the whole force of his character and intellect into the book.”—Manchester Guardian.

“Mr. Chesterton’s masterpiece.”—Daily News.

“Some of the sanest writing Mr. Chesterton has yet done. In effect Mr. Chesterton is a preacher.... All who would join in the search for reality can find help in this volume.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“Full of freshness and individuality, of a daring directness, and marked throughout by a neatness of statement.”—Daily Telegraph.

“What Carlyle would have called a real book or Bible.... Will rank as an astonishing achievement, and may come to be regarded as an important modern bulwark of the faith.”—Nation.

“A brilliant book.... A book inspired throughout with an inherent originality which glorifies it, and with an obvious sincerity which justifies it. Mr. Chesterton’s book will stimulate the intellect of every intelligent reader. Many of his sayings are a joy to the mind, and his analyses of the differences between Christianity and other religions is a continual pleasure from the force and originality of the imagery.”—Outlook.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS

“Thoroughly and exuberantly Chestertonian, bristling with quaint epigram, droll illustration, and daring paradox, and marked by a sustained brilliancy of criticism and analysis.”—World.

“Mr. Chesterton is an original and unconventional thinker. These papers are in his accustomed vein; bright, whimsical, clever, and amusing.”—Daily Telegraph.

“There is here all that joyfulness in action, easy brilliance, and skill at the presentation of a case which have made this writer so delightful a controversialist.”—Daily News.

“Thoroughly sane and virile.”—Manchester Guardian.

“Passages of marvellous power.”—Echo.

“Mr. Chesterton’s intellectual gambols are an increasing joy.”—Evening Standard.

“The brilliant maker of paradox finds abundant scope for his wayward and delightful humour in his present volume.... Every page contains some witty phrase, some daring flight of fancy, or some startling turn of thought.”—Graphic.

“A book of gorgeous paradoxes and brilliant epigram.”—Onlooker.

“A collection of delightful essays bristling with epigrams and flashes of humour.... A clever, healthy, inspiring book, and will greatly add to the reputation the author has already won by his ‘Napoleon of Notting Hill.’”—Clarion.

“This brilliant book ... scintillating epigram and unorthodox thought.”—Weekly Scotsman.

“A volume which makes delightful reading, and the more delightful because it is impossible to read it without encountering in every page—in every phrase almost—abundant food for thought ... his brilliant wit, his verbal and mental agility are as evident as they are in everything he writes.”—Newcastle Daily Chronicle.

“Mr. Chesterton is as inimitable, as elusive, as pungent as ever. His wit plays with unimpaired vivacity, his convictions grow more and more genuine and surprising.”—Morning Leader.
