The English Character

In the two dozen essays that make up this volume Mr. Hughes nominally discusses various -characteristics of English life. In reality he gives himself far more latitude, and writes, most pleasantly and colloquially, upon whatever subject promises most enjoyment to the reader. What- ever he touches upon, his outlook is quietly and unaffectedly humorous, and, if his anecdotes are not all new, most of them are worth telling
