Good Sense
"MAX BEERBOHM, and this was true also of Henry James, is a survivor from the last century. But our pleasure in the magnification of trifles or in the perception of small things, so important in the essayist’s craft, depends upon our confidence in the writer’s fundamental of good sense. And in Max’s company we are always at ease about that. Indeed, of all contemporary writers I have read-and I am a wellread man-I think that he has written on the whole the fewest silly things."D. MacCarthy in a BBC Overseas Service Talk.
