Présentation de l'éditeur

It is not only to unite teachers and to improve teaching that the English Association exists, but also to give in some measure a personal expression to our love of books, to the thoughts and impulses which come from their infinite combinations. Everything is to be found in book-lore; not only is the generous feast spread out for favoured guests, but the crumbs are there falling from the high tables. There is fun, there is fancy and good-humour, there is companionship for the solitary, comfort for the sad, knowledge of life for the young, and for the elders pleasant gossip and remembrance. Professor Ker has brought Romance before us; Professor Bradley has spoken of Poetry and its uses who that was present on that last occasion when he spoke will not remember The Presidential Address delivered at the Annual General Meeting of the English A ssociation, on January 10, 1913. It was read by Mr. Ernest von Glehn, Copyright, 1913, by Lady Ritchie, in the United States of A merica.
