Émile_Boutroux_académicien_1914To Charles Augustus Strong
Colonial Club
Cambridge, Massachusetts. March 16, 1910

Boutroux is here, giving us delightful talks, full of simplicity and finesse, but tending, I am afraid, to merely rhetorical and sentimental conclusions. He is the Parisian Palmer, or the Longfellow of philosophy.
