Recreation by Viscount Grey of Fallodon, K.G‪.‬

It is sometimes said that this is a pleasure-seeking age.   We are supposed to have great advantages in many ways over our predecessors. There is, on the whole, less poverty and more wealth. There are supposed to be more opportunities for enjoyment: there are moving pictures, motor-cars, and many other things which are now considered means of enjoyment and which our ancestors did not possess.
