Some of the readings are little gems: Justin Moser's 1772 warning about the dangers associated with «Diminished
Disgrace of Whores and Their Children in Our day»; T. E. Hulme's «Essays on War» (1916), which respond to Bertrand Russell's arguments for pacifism; and Winston Churchill's «Speech on Rebuilding the House of Commons» (1943), a remarkable critique of «rationalism in politics» by a Burkean - minded statesman.
