A Feast of Morsels

April 4, 1918 issue

This article analyzes the book "A Bookman's Budget," composed and compiled by Austin Dobson. The outcome is an agreeable medley of prose and verse, literary odds and ends, curious facts, into which the bookish person may dip at random, sure of fishing up something of interest. As might be expected from Dobson's well-known preferences, the eighteenth century and French literature form his happy hunting-grounds. The book is a piece of pathetic flotsam from the world that was submerged in August 1914, a world which could be interested in mere literature.
