RUSSELL, Bertrand (1872-1970). Which Way to Peace? London: Michael Joseph, 1936. 8°. Original brown cloth darkened at spine, dustjacket folded up and laid in. PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed 'O. from B. October 1936.' Analysis of the imminence and consequences of a second world war, reaffirming Russell's pacifism and closing with a declaration of the duty of everyone 'To abstain from fighting ...' Some pencil markings in text by Morrell, who has written at the end of the text the date she finished reading, 'Oct 23 1936'.
SANTAYANA, George (1863-1952). Autograph letter signed to Ottoline Morrell, Cortina July 2, 1937, 8pp, 4to, discussing a fund for Bertrand Russell to allow him 'to devote himself peacefully to his philosophical work'. Replying to a suggestion by Morrell that Russell is 'outstripped in radicalism by the young', Santayana writes 'his recent little book about war and disarmament seemed to me radical enough, and for the moment convincing'. Russell's standing, in Santayana's eyes, is undoubted: 'Bertie is as much a leader and an intellectual hero as Einstein, morally much more so, and it seems incredible, if one doesn't know the world, that he should be stranded in this way, with his gifts and his reputation.'
