“Mr. Henry James has produced no more clever and subtle work than is
to be found in his latest volume.... There are in these tales passages
of splendid realism. The portrait of Geoffrey Dowling is a masterpiece
of characterization. And there are sentences, unobtrusive asides, which
flash with the brilliancy of true wit.”--_New York Tribune._
“Mr. James’s writings are distinctively works of art. One and all
of them appeal most strongly to cultivated minds. In no instance does
he descend from his transcendent ideals of literature. An acquaintance
with Henry James means an appreciation of the finer style of written
English, and an inhalation of the atmosphere of purest English
literature. No list of books for the summer will be complete without
‘=Embarrassments=.’”--_Cambridge Press._
