Among the chapters in this 1897 collection are ‚First, the Critics, and then a Word on Dickens, ‚ ‚Robert Louis Stevenson, ‚ ‚Living Masters—Rudyard Kipling, ‚ ‚Dr. Macdonald and Mr. J. M. Barrie, ‚ and ‚The Americans.‘ Murray feared he would be ridiculed for the book, but instead gained literary friends (and praise) as a result of its publication.
