Description from the seller
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Dr Jennings White saying that he has introduced “a new & admirable word (or rather use an old medieval term in a new sense) Entrophy. The T.B.C. Times Book Club says it cannot discover any book of your. Who is your publisher & where is his hide out? You will find I use the word in the discussion at the end of the little book I am sending you & I hope to use it again & again ...”, 1 side 8vo., 13 Hanover Terrace headed paper, 12th January 1942.
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.
