'The Gamekeeper at Home ', by Richard Jefferies
DESMOND MACCARTHY
When in 1878 Richard Jefferies published The Gamekeeper at Home: Sketches of Natural History and Rural Life ', one of the greatest of all English nature writers made his real literary debut. It was not Jefferies first book ; he had already published political pamphlets and three poor novels. But ' The Gamekeeper ' was the beginning of his real career.
It was not only that, but, as Edward Thomas has written, 'perhaps the first thoroughly rustic book in English, by a countryman and about the country, with no alien savours whatever.' ' Descriptions, portraits, narratives, arguments, odds and ends of superstitions, customs, curiosities, come together in Nature's own abundance ', says the same critic. ' The writing is effortless, and in places slipshod ; it hardly matters :
'the breath of elaboration might have made it less rustic.'

Hoist's Two Psalms for chorus, string orchestra, and organ were published in 1920. The words of the solos in Psalm 86 are taken from the Authorised Version and the words of the chorus are a metrical version by Joseph Bryan (1620). The melody upon which this piece is based is taken from the Genevan Psalter (1543).
In his Psalm 148, Hoist uses a paraphrase by Francis R. Gray , and the melody is taken from the Geistliche Kirchenyesange (1623).
' Can Progress be traced in Human
History'
H. A. Mess , Ph.D.
(Reader in Sociology in the University of London)
Dr. H. A. Mess , who gave the third talk in this series, is to speak today on the history of the idea of progress. Some of the things he will discuss will be : some alternative views of human history, the rise and fall of civilisation, the dangers attendant on human achievement, and whether the human mind can achieve control of human nature.
As he has done at the end of each weekly broadcast, he will link up the previous talks with today's—the final talk-and very briefly sum up the series,
