Excerpt from A Student in Arms
And are practical reports on the mind of the soldier, are in the best sense, works of art. They have in them the essential of all art - passion. It is not enough to say there is no art where there is no passion. Wherever there is passion there is art. Beyond this originality of View, this finely tempered sense of justice through love, and this passion and so creative force, there is a genial sense of humor and a schol arly feeling for words, which sent the Stu dent in Arms forth wonderfully equipped for the task he has chosen. He is the critic in shining armor who stands guardant re gardant beside the soldier in the field. What is his task? Consciously or um consciously, I know not which it is, to interpret the British soldier to the nation in whose service he has laid down his life, and dared and done deeds to which the history of war affords no parallel. One rises from the Student's book with a sense.

Excerpt from A Student in Arms
There is nothing in literature rarer as there is nothing more attractive than the note of originality. We can all of us now make fairly good copies, but unfortunately a copy, however accomplished, is always a copy. In literature, moreover, we do not merely have first-hand copies of great modules, but copies of copies of copies. Smith does not model himself on Stevenson direct, but upon Jones, who again copies from Robinson, who derives through Brown, White, Black, Green, Thompson, and Jackson. What the reader of these Essays, if he has any instinct for letters, will at once observe is the absence of the imitative vein, not only in the presentation of the thoughts but in the thoughts themselves.
