Note Relating to Cather
"In these deplorable days when Knighthood is in Flower to the tune of half a million copies, and when novels of the same literary fibre as Molly Bawn and Red as a Rose Is She are tricked out in crinoline and powdered hair and odds-bodikins -- whatever those may be -- and sent forth heralds of the revival of Romance, it is a pleasant experience to encounter such a novel as [Mary Johnston's To Have and To Hold] bearing the stamp of a superior mentality and of an individuality strong enought to do freshly and well what has been done often and badly."
