Spectator (London) ran an anonymous article, “Mark Twain’s Latest,” p. 925-6. Tenney: “A review of Extracts from Adam’s Diary. ‘Not only is this little book to be acquitted of the charge of any real irreverence, but…its audacity is so tempered by delicacy, and even tenderness, of feeling that no broad- minded reader can arise from its perusal without enhanced admiration for the great and kindly humourist who, since Dickens’s death, has done more than any other writer to promote the gaiety of the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race’” [Tenney 39].
