Yes: it’s a silly book; a book elaborately and deliberately silly; even laboriously silly with that silliness which cometh not forth but by prayer and fasting. ... And as I continued to read, it grew monotonously silly. Paul “slipped into the Crack” in several different ways, but there wasn’t much difference in the result. I began to wonder if Mr. Blackwood has been drinking from the wisdom- fount of Ecclesiastes and Don Juan! And oh dear! th…

…arker’s must expect to pull in some worthless fish. This accounts for Waite’s contempt of him; imagine Walford Bodie reviewing a medical book which referred to him as an authority on paralysis ! The size of the book, too, is calculated to effray: reading it has cost me many pounds in gondolas! And it is the essential impossibility of all works of this kind that artistic treatment is not to be attained. But Brother Yarker has nobly suppressed a Spencerian tendency to ramble; he has written with insight, avoided pedantry, and made the dreary fiel…

… feels throughout that his occultism is the result of study and not of experience. That is why I say exoteric. Although the style of the book is comparatively undistinguished, and some- times lapses into actual slovenliness, Mr. Brodie-Innes frequently attains beauty, and beauty of a positive and original kind. Some of his sea-pictures are quite fine. But the magic of style that renders Arthur Machen so marvellous is lack- ing. “Old as the World” is always interesting; it is never enthralling. “Old as the World” is much better than “Morag the S…

We don’t like books of selections, and you can’t make a nightingale out of a crow by picking out the least jarring notes. The book is nicely bound and printed—as if that were any excuse! Mr. Crowley, however, must have been surprised to receive a bill of over Six Pounds for “ author's corrections,” as the book was printed from his volume of Collected Works, and the alterations made by him were well within the dozen!
