David Christie Murray 
My Contemporaries in Fiction (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) [EPUB ebook] 

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.
