Introduced by DAVID LLOYD JAMES
Read by Carleton Hobbs
Horace Walpole (1717-1796), the great Georgian wit, lived to see the excesses of the French Revolu. tion. His many connections with France, and particularly with his beloved Mine, du Deffand, led him to passionate concern over the French situation. The second of these two programmes ends with him in his old age, lonely and despondent at what has happened to the world about him.
