In the face of an extravagant foreword by Franklin P. Adams to "A Penny Whistle, Together With the Babette Ballads," the first of several volumes which promise to collect the column-verse of the late Bert Leston Taylor, it must be said that Taylor made better reading in "A Line O' Type" than he now makes out of it. With all the scrupulosity and precision which Adams claims for this light verse, it yet lacks force and point in the measure that was to be expected by those who understood "A Line O' Type" to be the best newspaper column in the country.
