My Contemporaries in Fiction (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Among the chapters in this 1897 collection are "First, the Critics, and then a Word on Dickens," "Robert Louis Stevenson," "Living Masters—Rudyard Kipling," "Dr. Macdonald and Mr. J. M. Barrie," and "The Americans." Murray feared he would be ridiculed for the book, but instead gained literary friends (and praise) as a result of its publication.
