AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It describes the adventures of an ex-Post Office employee, and his satellite, who sells romantic literature to nursegirls. The pair of them are snobs to the backbone, and set forth on a mission to regenerate the world by bringing it back to a belief in such things as inherited position and Inherited authority, and the utter worthlessness of the masses. Naturally these pseudo-Don Quixotes find the masses unwilling to accept their teaching, and their experiences are at first amusing enough. However, before long we begin to feel that the author is making a little go a long way, and there is hardly sufficient in the subject to justify the length of the book.'
