Excerpt from A House-Boat on the Styx: Being Some an of the Divers the Associated Shades I most admire. But I am not inclined to be dogmatic, and however strong my con victions as to the limitations of this work, I should never so far forget myself as to criticise the taste of those who do find pleasure in perusing it. Concerning tastes there is no disputing, and I should not for an instant think of finding fault with the thousands of good people Who have taken the house-boat into their hearts. I am quite ready to admit that their judgment of its merits is reasonable in any event. Here and there I am able to see good points in this Stygian Romance, as a Chicago critic once called it, but for continuous, satisfactory reading, I prefer Shakespeare, Milton, and others whose methods differed somewhat from my own.
