add to cart   close window

This article critically analyses W. Baptiste Scoones' book "Four Centuries of English Letters: Selections From the Correspondence of One Hundred and Fifty Writers, From the Period of the Paston Letters to the Present Day." The critic does not agree with Scoones' selection as he feels that he has omitted many letters which occur to one as almost indispensable to a work of the scope of this, and he has admitted others whose claims upon one's attention seem difficult to discover. The dates for the first letter is 1450 and the last letter is from the late Prince Albert to the Crown Princess of Prussia, 1859.
