This second volume of letters between "one of Britain"s greatest schoolmasters and a highly active publisher of equal distinction" (The Times) continues where the first left off and while much is as before, much too, is new. New absurdities and fools are dispatched with the old trenchancy and wit, more authors join those already mutually admires -- Orwell and E Phillips Oppenheim, Conrad and Cardinal Newman, Emerson and Ian Fleming.
