Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Literary Recreations The President of the Board of Education said the other day that in these dark times we were entitled to draw consolation whence we might, and that there was a legitimate source of consolation in the spread of the reading habit. Mr. Fisher has seen evidences of it in every omnibus, tram-car, and rail way-carriage. Even in the trenches, he added, much reading goes on. There are probably few men who, like General Smuts, have studied the Critique of Pure Reason during a raid; but Mr. Fisher has known instances of officers enjoying the solace of Keats and Milton under the hottest fire, and an anecdote is recorded below (p. 46) of a man in the Lancashire Fusiliers who went into battle with a book by Ruskin.
