Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Art, Morals, and the War: A Lecture Delivered in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, on Thursday, November 12, 1914
For indeed throughout these three and a half months past, what thoughts have any of us had but of one thing: nay, but of that one thing, what thoughts have any of us still? Those few closing days of July, those four strained opening days of August; and then, at midnight of that fateful Wednesday, the sth, we knew at last the worst - War was upon us! The worst, one says. Yes, in a sense. But by and by I don't think we shall say the worst. God forbid that I should be talking in any light-hearted fashion. War came upon us, came upon us as a bolt out of the blue - that terrible thing, War. And - what a war! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
