From the publisher

"Of Cleverness: Apropos of One Crichton" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

Crichton is an extremely clever person-abnormally, indeed almost unnaturally, so. He is not merely clever at this or that, but clever all round; he gives you no consolations. He goes about being needlessly brilliant.
