Israel Zangwill : King of the Schnorres
'2nd February, Wednesday. I have been reading Zangwills, ?King of the Schnorres? and some other yarns of his. He is a most ingenious, and a most humorous writer. He is another of those authors who make me wonder why the ordinary reader wastes time on cheap rubbish. Here is a book, one of hundreds, which is as entertaining, as quick moving, and dramatic as any one can desire, and yet I doubt if it can hold place with B.M. Bower, Ethel M. Dell, Elinor Glyn, Zane Grey and the other tripe-mongers.'

Israel Zangwill : Premier and the Painter
[in reference to Israel Zangwill's praise for "The Nigger of the Narcissus" Conrad expresses] 'a disinterested admiration for his [Zangwill's] work-- dating far back, to the days of "Premier and the Painter" which I read by chance of the Indian Ocean--a copy with covers torn off and two pages missing.'
