[Sir Humphrey Gilbert] is a grand subject for a biography half as long as Chidsey’s Raleigh, and Chidsey has done it well with his accustomed zest. -Cincinnatti Enquirer Humphrey Gilbert has the charm of his own that Raleigh does not share and, in spite of the paucity of materials left by Gilbert, Mr. Chidsey has brought it out admirably. We admire Raleigh more, but like Gilbert better. And after all, he was an Elizabethan, which means that he lived with a gusto that fascinates this drab and weary regeneration. His life, as done by Mr. Chidsey, makes a fine book, worthy of a place on anyone’s library shelves. -The Baltimore Evening Sun
