Excerpt from Conrad in Quest of His Youth: An Extravagance of Temperament I speak, of course, only for myself, but there is no doubt to my mind that Conrad in Quest of His Youth is the best sentimental journey that has been written in this country since the publication of the other one; so gay it is, so sad, of such an alluring spirit, so fine a temper. I know scarcely a novel by any living English man except a score or so of Mr. Hardy's, that I would rather have written. I am not certain.
