    I do like this extract from the extracts...

    It would be nioe to write a dignified and profound preface in regard
    t o the Lower Norfolk records* No. We will have to leave that to the
    historians if they ever fal l that low. Oftentimes what they have to say
    is quite true . Of course they are not all liars, prostitutes s and fools
    as my old friend Morgan Robinson, and the "Englishman, Horace Rounds, used to casually remark. It would be entertaining to hear what these "deceased gentlemen ( not~so gentle ) would have t o say concerning Toynbee, the prevailing fashion in history. Our good friends the historians love to talk C or write ) for the pleasure of hearing themselves talk , A most
    charming diversion from the dull facts of history.
