Bernard Darwin could easily have settled into a privileged life as
a respected lawyer - one who also just happened to be the grandson
of Charles Darwin. But his conventional upbringing didn't prevent
him from choosing a different path, abandoning the relative
security of the law to follow his first and only passion - golf.
While Darwin was no slouch on the links - captain of his golf team
at Cambridge and twice in the semifinals of the British Amateur
Championships - he achieved far greater notoriety with his pen than
with his club. Starting as a weekly columnist for The Times of
London (always signing his columns "Our Golf Correspondent"), he
was soon acknowledged as one of the finest essayists in Britain. He
was the first writer ever to elevate the discussion of golf beyond
a simple reportage of events. He was also a regular contributor to
Country Life and a frequent contributor to The Atlantic Monthly.
1930. From the Prefatory Note: The object of this book is to
reproduce some of the more entertaining advertisements that
appeared in various of Dickens's novels, as they were published in
their original monthly parts. The notion was not my own but that of
a friend whose sense of humour was fired by a casual glance at some
of those precious green numbers. Contents: The Advertisers of the
Dickensian Era; Ancient and Modern; Pickwick; The Young Person;
Literature; Smoking; For the Head; Mr. Moses; Dress; The Pill; and
Old Friends.
