When, as in the present case, the writer enjoys the privilege of friendship and frequent intercourse with the subject of the book himself, there is always the risk of saying more than should be said in a man's lifetime. On the other hand, the study of a living personality written from an entirely objective standpoint must necessarily lack the intimate glow and sense of actuality which give its chief value to a con temporary record.
