"You are a true gentleman — not an editor!" — William James, psychologist, philosopher, and brother of the novelist Henry James, offering a compliment to Bliss Perry, editor of The Atlantic Monthly, 1905, as recounted in Perry's 1935 memoir, "And Gladly Teach" (Houghton Mifflin). Coincidentally, William James died 100 years ago last Thursday (August 26).
