The essay notes Cooke's patriotism and business acumen, but questions the biographer's excessive praise and the work's length.

Coincidence in Verse Attributed to Munby Not Plagiarism
The London Spectator notes a line from Mr Munby's November issue echoes an obscure 1876 verse. It argues the match is likely pure coincidence, as Munby may not have read or remembered the prior poem, and finds no evidence of deliberate copying.
