This article focuses on the book "Gordon at Khartoum," by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. The author says ten years ago, he read Blunt's book, and then thought that my unfortunate association with bank wreckers and railroad grafters had not a little to do with his fury of admiration for the author. But now, having read it a second time amid a kind of arcadian quiet, he find it no less thrilling. Blunt, the man of affairs and gentleman of wealth and leisure, was able to write from the inside, making use of his intimate knowledge of nineteenth-century political society, setting down everything as it was, sparing none and caring for none, giving pictures of those met, and in the pictures recording expressed and discovered prejudices.
