G. K. Chesterton wrote thousands of essays during his literary career. This book is a small collection of them. They include such topics as: "A Visit to the Zoo", "Democracy as an Alarm", and "Fortgetfulness". Some are slightly over one page in length and other run over five pages. Apparently, this is a reprint of a collection originally published before 1920. Our modern would-be journalists should be required to read these essays to see how "real" journalists once worked!
