The Egregious English

The Egregious English is T. W. H. Crossland's introspective and thoughtful reflections on the citizens of the country of England. Excerpt: "It has become the Englishman's habit, one might almost say the Englishman's instinct, to take himself for the head and front of the universe. The order of creation began, we are told, in protoplasm. It has achieved at length the Englishman. Herein are the culmination and ultimate glory of evolutionary processes. Nature, like the seventh-standard boy in a boarding school, «can get no higher.»
