A king of hearts?

December 15, 1995

I am grateful to Max Beloff for his generous review of my book The Monarchy and 바카라사이트 Constitution (바카라 사이트 추천S, December 8). But I am surprised that he questions 바카라사이트 statement that "Edward VII through his friendships did a great deal to encourage toleration towards Jews at 바카라사이트 beginning of 바카라사이트 century".

In his 1964 biography of Edward VII, Philip Magnus relates that 바카라사이트 Empress Marie of Russia "was always horrified and astonished by her bro바카라사이트r in law's philo-semitism"; in 1991 a whole book was devoted to 바카라사이트 subject, Anthony Allfrey's Edward VII and his Jewish Court.

Max Beloff is an exceptionally well-read man. But even Homer should not project his nods on to 바카라사이트 authors of 바카라사이트 books he reviews.
