viii, 159 p.; 22 cm. VG orig. tan cloth in vg dj. `the troubles of mankind arise chiefly from imperfections in man which are due to the appearance of self-consciousness' (27) `The physical unification of the world has increased feelings of insecurity. Formerly you could, generally speaking, only be attacked by your near neighbours; nowadays you may be threatened by people who live on the other side of the world. Moreover, the advance of technology has given men new weapons of mass-destruction--though the historian may doubt whether Hiroshima was more horrible than,say, some of the atrocities of the Mongols in the thirteenth century, the former is much nearer to ourselves. These feelings of insecurity,whether in nations or in smaller bodies politic,lead to a magnifying ofthe importance of one's own group and a belittling of the importance of other groups. The nomadic Arabs prior to Muhammad illustrate thiswiththeir two kinds of poem;in one they "boasted" ofthe glories oftheir own tribe and showed how its heroic achievements exemplified the highest human excellence (as they conceived it),while inthe other they spoke of the baseness and contemptibility of their enemies.Despite the many differences, modern war propaganda has the same basic pattern.Onthe one hand it portrays one's own side as superior in various ways--in ideals,in general conduct and in military success;and onthe other hand it suggests the inferiority of the enemy--his false ideals, his lower standards of conduct (sometimes amounting to atrocities), and his military failures. As people become more sophisticated, more subtlety is required to induce them to believe in their own superiority and their enemies' inferiority. The basic needs of average human beings, however, remain the same.' (123 f.). Binding is Hardcover.…

From the first Smith has been considered as the model of the 'Sir Joseph Porter' of Gilbert and Sullivan's 'HMS Pinafore', and Disraeli himself is said to have referred to him as 'Pinafore Smith'. See Smith's entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item is signed 'W. H. Smith', addressed to 'Mr Townsend Warner', and headed 'Private'. The recipient is the historian and Harrow housemaster George Townsend Warner (1865-1916), father of the novelist Sylvia Townsend Warner. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. Smith, who has evidently been applied to with a request to fish in a private stream, asks Warner to 'do me a favour in saying whether the writer of the enclosed is one to whose request I might assent without being open to similar requests all round'. He does not know the writer. 'The stream is a very small and short one, and I am anxious to reserve it for private friends as far as possible, as I have given up my rights in the Teign to the Fishery Association'. At the time of writing Smith was Leader of the Commons, but one is still surprised to see such a letter written on a Downing Street letterhead.…
