In "Twelve Men," he has given us a remarkable series of character studies of his friends that make no pretense at being anything more dramatic and that yet are fascinating, one and all, and far more impressive than if any attempt had been made to make them adorn a tale. We do not need even the vicarious interest of an attempt to ferret out the names of the originals of the sketches and to link them up with what we knew of these people in real life, tho some references are obvious and others obscure rather because the men were obscure than because the author has made any effort to disguise them. —Extract from "Some of the Notable Among Current Novels," The Literary Digest, 11 Oct 1919 (Full extract on the Talk page
