Abstract

Welcome Reactions

The article discusses the book "Gentle Reactions," by Gabriel Wells. Wells' name is not altogether unassociated with the world of letters, but it is in the distribution of books rather than in the creation of them that the name is thought of. Amid the book-auction fraternity and among the book-collecting cognoscenti it is familiarly abbreviated to the initials G.W., a manner of address which, while it implies appreciation of the book-dealer, ignores the man. It must have been a real relief to Wells, from the occasional monotony of his business, to express himself in these letters to the newspapers, for the reading of them is both a diversion and an education.
