your Bertrand Russell quote recently. History of Western Philosophy
by BR is the most important book I ever read. I have a first edition
of the 1945 publication thanks to my father attending Oxford at that
time. The war ended in August 1945 and my father was back in college
(St Peters) by the beginning of October just two months later. Britain
expedited the de-mob of military who had interrupted their studies to
do their bit. A brilliant move. He enjoyed a full year of study in a
nearly empty college as many were unable to get home for a year. Sometimes
two. I was worried I had lost the book but it was just discovered an
a box in the last ten days to my great relief. The dust jacket is printed
on recycled maps due to wartime paper shortages. It is a treasure that
I hope my two adult children will read someday and I recommend it to
everyone else. Mike (Ottawa -28 tonight!)
