Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-06 00:00:00 Jesse Waggoner The further columns. Some on events you may have heard of. Like the Titanic -- actually two columns, itself and the inquiry after. Complaints against laws against the poor, discussion of the death of Andrew Lang, people who assume a non-existent unanimity, and many other topics.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-20 00:00:00 Arash Ng To have read this volume and the other collected works has to prove that you like the writings of this man, and the way he thinks. His ability to argue and to present his case is most impressive, even when I find that he is on the side opposite of what I would argue now. 1911-1913 was a time of great change and Chesterton had an opinion on all of it. He was absolutely against prohibition, and he was very much for everybody having a piece of property. He was not a fan of the right of women to vote or for the science of evolution. He had some very strong opponents in H.G. Wells and Bernard Shaw. There is a great skill in the way of civility in debate that Chesterton had that is something devoutly to be wished for again.
