Scope and content

Yatscombe, Boars Hill, Oxford. - Thanks Trevelyan for his 'charming little gift "From the Shiffolds"': theses 'ancient fragments of wisdom' are much more interesting than 'the ordinary Christmas poems'. Menander is 'really wonderful as a critic of life' though he may be 'monotonous' as a playwright.
