Sunday sermon, to read it through to his cook, feeling sure that if she could understand it his congregation would. Having considerable doubts as to whether the parts of this book which refer to the amounts of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen in foods would be understood, I have read them to many whom I have taken to be fair types of the intelligence of the kind of readers I have had mostly, though not solely in view the well-informed artizans who use public libraries, and their wives to whom they retail what they have read. The result of these various interviews has been that I have received many suggestions to put in fuller explanations in one place, to leave them out in another, because everybody knows it, to mention where Carbon and Hydrogen and Nitrogen can be seen as it is, no use talking to people about things they cannot see, or not to trouble about chemistry at all, but to tell people how to get cheap fish and explain how to get over little domestic difficulties about fireplaces and hobs and frying-pans I had never dreamt of. I have realized the beauty of the old Greek fable of the man and his sons and his donkey, far more vividly than I ever did as a schoolboy. Though I find there are still parts which to some are not clear, I fear I must let the book go as it is.
