...these vaporings would have but little importance if the publication of them were limited to New York City, but through the Hearst newspapers they will go all over the United States and be read by some thirty million persons, of whom the vast majority are too ill-informed to suspect their truth...
...Memories of Mountains", for there is not one essay which, sooner or later, does not describe the peculiarities of the country's mountain ranges. At times their purple majesty awed him, but generally craggy heights and shining glaciers were obstacles to surmount, in record time, if possible.

Unconsciously Mr. McGraw has thus produced a piercing satire, far more brilliant than Mr. Edison's, against our reverent institutions of the so-called higher learning...
