Reader's note

A 1948 edition of The Journal of a Disappointed Man by W. N. P. Barbellion. From the age of thirteen to the time of his death at thirty W.N.P. Barbellion whose real name was Bruce Frederick Cummings kept a diary, and from the twenty large manuscript volumes in which he wrote it this selection was published shortly before his death. He was by profession a naturalist on the staff of the Natural History Museum at South Kensington. From childhood he had suffered acute ill-health, and in early manhood it was discovered that he was doomed to an incurable and progressive paralysis. Yet through these misfortunes he maintained a vivid and passionate interest in life, and in this Journal he set down his responses to hundreds of major and minor experiences and events.
