Excerpt from A Dream of Youth: An Etonian's Reply to the Loom of YouthWhole-heartedly do I commend this book. That does not mean that I agree with everything in it. Mr. Martin Browne would not expect that. The worst compliment that one can pay to a stimulating book is to accept it in toto.In particular, I dissent from the author's somewhat deprecatory estimate of history. More and more are historical studies in the widest sense coming to be the centre of humanistic education. Even the classics on one side mean that, the throwing oneself by imagination into a different social atmosphere. In this, as in other matters, opinions will vary as to the value of the detailed suggestions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
