''To give way to human feelings, to overflow & swim in human feelings, is human enough, but the farthest north of humanness is, for me, to be a lightning conductor of such feelings in such a way that they are particularly fitted to fill niches in coming men's minds & sit itchingly and inflamingly like small fishhooks in men's consciousness throughout changing customs and different rules for playing cricket.''--Grainger, 1907, in a letter to his mother.. Inscribed By Editor. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
