Hence the playful mirthfulness and light-hearted ease of the Celtic temperament have in his case been curdled into a stubbornness which may be stolid obstinacy or undaunted perseverance, according to the circumstances which develop it.

Pagina 134 - The first edition of this list was published in the Wisconsin Library Bulletin for January-February, 1912.
