This is a link to a review written by John Dewey on William James' Volume on Radical Empiricism and Comments on Pragmatism. It was published on June 9, 1912 in the New York Times, about two years after James' death. Dewey, while giving a rather technical review of James' writings, also notes his legacy as an American philosopher and thinker. He credits James' his widespread influence to both his artistic writing as well as underlying trends in the 19th century mindset that made his rise to fame possible.

This was interesting as it went into detail on how James influenced Dewey by going through some of his essays. It was interesting to get to see the opinions that someone like John Dewey had on William James.
