Notes:
Text:Villard's John Brown is used as a peg on which to hang a long essay. "There is much in the character of John Brown which the world will always admire, but he will never be an ideal character in the thoughts of some men," the reviewer concludes. "His heroism was as remorseless towards others as it was unfearing for himself, but it was untainted by any spirit of personal revenge." [Abstract by Boyd B. Stutler]
