You will perhaps have seen by some of the notices that it has scared some of the good folks here, and the scare has been so great in America that I could not find a publisher, and that one house advised me to withdraw it. It is rather a tormenting book I am afraid, but I would say with the latest poster of 'The Follies' - 'Don't worry about this but go and see it.'"Richard Harris Smithnoreply@blogger.com
