NEW MACHEN STUDIES No. 43
What the Prebendary Saw: The original version of an seldom read, but excellent war story.
A Clever Study of the “Average Young Girl”: No writer quite realises his idea; the book as it is written is never quite so fine as the book as it was imagined; and so in a way the best literature makes a catalogue of splendid failures. But after all, this is according to the general scheme of the universe; it is the greatest saints who acknowledge that, after all, they are but miserable sinners. The man who can do a thing really well is always the man who knows that it should have been done a great deal better.
FAR OFF THINGS: The complete first volume of memoirs.
