+Frank Harris+--man of letters.
Born in Galway, Ireland, 1854, but came to the United States in 1870.
Naturalized. Educated at the universities of Kansas, Paris, Heidelberg,
Strassburg, Göttingen, Berlin, Vienna, and Athens (no degrees). Admitted
to the Kansas bar, 1875. Later, returned to Europe and became editor of
the _Evening News_ and _Fortnightly Review_ and secured control of the
_Saturday Review_.
Mr. Harris's work belongs in a class by itself. It is valuable partly for
its content, as in the case of his intimate portraits of famous men whom
he has known, and partly for the force and brilliancy of the style.
