Philip Hale, the well-known and brilliant Boston literary and musical
critic writes as follows:
“Walter Blackburn Harte is beyond doubt and peradventure the leading
essayist in Boston today. For Boston perhaps you had better read ‘the
United States.’ His matter is original and brave, his style is clear,
polished when effect is to be gained thereby, blunt when the blow
of the bludgeon should fall, and at times delightfully whimsical,
rambling, paradoxical, fantastical. But read for yourself, Miss
Eustacia; and Harte’s ‘Meditations in Motley’ will remain one of your
favorite books. And now Mr. Harte is the editor of THE FLY LEAF. The
first number is out, and let us earnestly call your attention to it.”
A vigorous writer and thoroughly animated by the idea that the field
of letters in this country should bloom with the genius of its youth.
If THE FLY LEAF doesn’t achieve a great success it will not be for
lack of talent and energy on the part of its director.--_The Boston
Traveller._
A new and wholly up to date brochure, THE FLY LEAF, has just
appeared under the conductorship of Walter Blackburn Harte, one of
the brightest young men in American literature.--_The Boston Home
Journal._
Promises to be something of a novelty in periodical literature, for
it is filled with piquant comments on current fads and fashions, and
contains some spicy and whimsical essays in miniature, written in a
vivid impressionistic manner.--_The Boston Transcript._
These are a few press notices. But all the young men and women in every
city and town in the United States are discussing THE FLY LEAF and
spreading its fame.
