Background
Together with the recipient's draft reply thanking him for the booklet valuable as it is, the whole proceedings should have been published long before this at sixpence... Entrophy is not just another name for education but is conceived... as a body of doctrine and a way of life, a philosophy, a religion as a particular way of living life..., 2 sides 8vo., with many alterations and corrections. During World War II, Wells was active in formulating a doctrine of human rights, and he remained committed to this cause until his death in 1946.
