AN EYE FOR FALLACIES
Sir,-G.H.D.’s admission that it is not necessary to read a book in order to criticise it only confirms what many of us have suspected-that our intellectuals are more concerned with opinion than with art-and that opinion is achieved much more cheaply. If reviews are taken as dehydrated reading, no wonder G.H.D. has time to express so many Opinions in the press, in the interests of his "educative work" , as a "ranger in the intellectual domain." But surely "sniper" would be a much better word.
