Very good. 4 pp. in ink on recto and verso of 2 sheets of personal stationery. 1 vols. 4to. Baring's Credo. A fine rambling philosophical letter from the poet and author Maurice Baring 1874-1945 discussing politics socialism H.G. Wells Huxley materialism Catholicism Russia and God. "I have finished your book. It has delighted me. I think it is one of the most interesting I have ever read. I am going to write the review tomorrow. I see nothing wrong with your politics; although I don't believe socialism would be a real remedy for the appalling injustice of things which exists now. An ideal socialism yes but I mean I agree with H.G. Wells in his view that if the 'Minority Report' people had their way we should be guarded like prisoners by wardens. I distrust the people who 'run' the poor. I agree still less with your religion. I am a catholic; but I have been an agnostic . " Speaking of his Catholicism he writes "it is to me a bridge to the Infinite . To me the arguments for materialism are more difficult to believe than the arguments for a divine Providence. And I agree with Huxley that if materialism is true there is not reason why we should talk of morality . unknown books
