“Despite the absence of personal bias, rigorously to be suppressed in a book like this, and the compression of a large subject into 300 pages, we read ‘Britain and greater Britain’ through from start to finish with unabated interest.”

From the preface contributed to this collection of poems by Frederick Morgan Padelford, it is to be inferred that the poems were accepted by the English department of the University of Washington in lieu of a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts, on the ground that “the creation of art is at least as severe a test of culture and of refined and disciplined thinking as the ability to reason sagely upon the art created by others.” The poems are grouped under the headings; A garland for Euterpe; Remembrances: Eccentricities: Pro patria.
“Our ‘strong’ young poets will doubtless see too much of softly falling rain or gently moving cloud to please them in the volume, too much of Mother Nature and too little of human nature.”
