Social Science, Boston, U.S.A. Begins: "Dear Madam". In
full: "I should like very much indeed to have had the privilege of
lecturing at your Society but my movements [are] so uncertain to allow me
to make any arrangements for the [fu]ture. Perhaps later on I shall be
able to do so. Belive me, Yours sincerely". In 1910, British journalist
Norman Angell (1872-1967) rose to fame with The Great Illusion, in

futile. Knighted in 1931, Angell was awarded the 1933 Nobel Peace
Prize. He continued to write and lecture into the 1950s. Lightly creased

imprinted address, ½x¾-inch paper loss at upper margin to left of imprinted
address. Pinhead-size hole at crossfolds affects one word of text, ½-inch hole
has removed a portion of type (bracketed above). Slightly soiled, ink blot at
blank portion. Pencil note (unknown hand) at upper margin.
