As is true of all writers, there are sometimes those who fail to catch the message in Mr.Wright's books.

He is occasionally misunderstood, and that was especially true with "The Eyes of the World." To the great majority of people, clean living and thinking, the message was not to be misinterpreted and to them the book is blessed.

To that small minority it was convicting and, from a few such, it brought forth condemnation which, in a fellow author here and there, was pronounced and emphasized by envy and jealousy.

To critics of this class Mr.Wright makes no reply and is not in the least disturbed.
"The Uncrowned King," a small volume--an allegory--published in 1910, to me, is one of the most delightful of Mr.Wright's books.

Possibly, it has an added charm because of certain peculiar conditions.
