ΤΟ J. C. SQUIRE MY DEAR JACK, You were godfather to a good many of the chapters in this book when they first appeared in the London Mercury, the New Statesman, and the British Review. Others of the chapters appeared in the Daily News, the Nation, the Athenæum, the Observer, and Everyman. Will it embarrass you if I now present you with the entire brood in the name of a friendship that has lasted many midnights? Yours, ROBERT LYND. STEYNING, 30th August, 1920. |
