CRITIQUE QUOTES:
‘The task of editing – always difficult where family relationships are to be disentangled and casual notations to be identified – is admirably done. The reader is kept adequately informed without being bewildered by any ostentatious parade of scholarship.’

‘I think the Income Tax a very disagreeable thing but so do I blue pills, rhubarb or castor oil.’
