It would probably have been more so had it not been for its twofold character. His reviewers, favourable as they were, did not understand his point of view. One thinks it "most extraordinary that Mr. Urquhart, whose books are so full of talent and originality, has not succeeded in public life. " " There is good sense, " said the Daily News, whose review occupied two columns, " in every remark he makes till he comes to politics, and then he becomes at once deraisonable. '^ But what, to the Briti...sh mind, was want of common sense to him was fundamental truth. It was here that his way parted from that of most of his countrymen. In the unspoilt countries, which Europe considered had been left behind in the march of civilisation, he found what had attracted him in the East — entire indifference to what the West called progress, and a simple adherence to primitive social ideals. This condition of things Urquhart contrasts in The Pillars of Hercules with the national life of modern European States, particularly of England, who, like the Church of Laodicea in the Apocalypse, boasting herself " that she was rich and had need of nothing, knew not that she was wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
