1 item

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Julian writes excellent letters; the handwriting of those his age is interesting as it shows 'the connection between the mechanical and the intellectual side of education' which the Greeks understood well. Good handwriting 'leads to good spelling and good composition - and to the prefixing of dates and addresses' which his own childhood letters lack. Is reading "Πλοῖον ἢ Εὐχαί" [Lucian's "The Ship, or The Wishes"] on Robert and Elizabeth's recommendation and enjoying it very much.
