The Purple Sapphire, and other Posthumous Papers

Abstract

THE author—or, to be more accurate, the editor—of this fascinating but blazingly indiscreet volume refers to NATURE as “that admirable journal”—a compliment which ought perhaps to secure a benevolent review, but needless to say we shall not let it induce us to depart from our habitual detachment.

The Purple Sapphire, and other Posthumous Papers.

Selected from the Unofficial Records of the University of Cosmopoli by Christopher Blayre. Pp. x + 210. (London: Philip Allan and Co., 1921.) 7s. 6d. net.
