While extraordinary nat

reason why I was unable to

there were also contributing
factors. Most problems, as I

while I had nver seen any
kalsomine, I had an instinc-

mathematics, unlike litera-

it than I did, the teacher
knew more about it than any
body in school, and obviously
the writer of the textbook

Added to this was the fact
that mathematics was ridicu-
lous. After being convinced
that no number squared

I was asked to believe that /

to the General Post Office in

The writer's interest eX-
tends from the time Of
Caesar until yesterday, and
is not confined to systematic
historical subject matter. Mr..
Morley wonders why Caesar
came to Britain. why Rome
delayed so long in sending a
successor, whether Caesar
built a London Bridge, and
whether he brought elephants
with him. Their he is con-
fronted with one Of the most
bewildering mysteries of Eng

Prostitution in Saxon times
