...several cases threatened failure, disasters to lighthouse property and personnel, heroic deeds of keepers in times of peril to their lives, and many local legends. Among the most interesting aspects of this volume are the many stories of human interest which are scattered throughout the pages and their interplay with the histories of the lighthouses themselves. While thus making the work invaluable for reference purposes Mr. Willoughby has been able to avoid loading down his pages with dull statistics...
...present psychopathology as a science vibrates uncertainly between two extreme, points; concepts based upon the brilliant but unsubstantiated intuitions of certain eminent psycho-analysts and the results of a mass of unenlightened objective tests assiduouly performed by more conscientious but less inspired workers.

Loud, therefore, were twitterers and twitterings...
