A review from the "North American Review," July, 1910:
"G. K. Chesterton has written a little book on Blake for the Duckworth-Dutton series. It is prettily printed, flimsily bound, and has thirty-two pictures. These are well chosen and few of them hackneyed, but very ill-reproduced [which we converted to an ePub]. The pictures mostly represent a leaf out of one of Blake's books, of which the text is entirely illegible and the values swamped in the half-tone. Line engravings, etchings, woodcuts, and paintings come out all alike. The whites are gray and the blacks are gray. The author who selected the pictures is not responsible for this, but the result is none the less deplorable.
"Mr. Chesterton has added nothing to the sum of human knowledge that was hardly to be expected. Blake has been carefully edited three times, and, although the final and right book is still unwritten, it would take a long time and an able interpreter to do it. Mr. Chesterton has not even added anything to the sum of human opinion; he has merely rearranged it. It is amazing, it is really touching, as one comes to the end of the volume to see how precisely it corresponds to the simple announcement."
