“ In 1911 he published a work of philosophy, "The Pursuit of Reason," written with a literary ability which made it more pleasant to read than most works of philosophy. In this, too, Keary, while not reaching a large public, interested those who had already a special interest in philosophy. ”

“ In middle life he turned from historical writing to velles lettres. His first novel, "A Mariage de Convenance," appeared in 1889. This was followed by a series of other novels, "The Two Lancrofts" (1893) . ”
