Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Through Isle and Empire My dear Vicomte d´Humières Thank you very much indeed for your book on the Island and the Empire which I have been reading with the greatest enjoyment. There are few things more interesting than to see one´s own country from without and eyes that are as penetrating (and as merciful) as yours make the interest a keen pleasure. From the point of view of an inhabitant, I a tn specially delighted with your tributes to the energy of the race, a thing which some of us at times to-day begin to doubt. There exists - I am glad you did not see it - an England which, ruined by excess of comfort, has gone to sleep and, because it snores loudly, believes that it is thinking. Your comments on the Army seem to me very just. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
