They are cast in the form of a friendly dialogue, interspersed with essays and dissertations, by the "friends in council." They cover a wide range of topics, from Worry to War, and from Criticism to Pleasantness. In style they are charming, the few angularities of diction being easily forgiven by reason of the fascination of the wise utterances and the shrewd observations which pervade the whole. In thought they are carefully worked out and free from monotony. The author evinces a fine moral feeling and a discriminating taste. (Bartleby.com) Sir Arthur Helps KCB HonDCL (1813 1875) was an English writer and dean of the Privy Council. He was a Cambridge Apostle. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.
