' A man dies — or appears to have died — in hospital as the result of a street accident, and as he lies, to all intents and purposes, past the help of doctor or nurses, the incidents of his life pass in procession before his vision. The author has presented these incidents as brilliant little vignettes of boyhood, youth and maturity.'
