The Ark SIL—Lord Egremont (August 26) quotes twice with- out

permission or acknowledgment from Mr Belloc's copyright poem, which he takes it on himself to describe as 'almost forgotten.' It was reprinted in our pocket edition of Belloc's Cautionary Verses in 1939, since when it has never been out of print and has passed through seven impressions.
