Sorry for the late reply, but I reviewed your posting history after being intrigued by your carbonic acid post on another thread.

I've never heard of Emile Cammaerts -- tho' I love Chesterton.

Can you supply more details?

(...also, do you like Hilaire Belloc?)

Cheers!

Belloc rocks! - he was really a fearless polemicist, although I must admit I’ve read a lot less of him than I have of Chesterton. But they’re so closely linked philosophically (hence the existence of “Chesterbelloc” as legit terminology) that it’s hard to like one and not the other.

Cammaerts: it’s been so long since I posted that comment I’ve forgotten exactly who he was - I believe he was a Chesterton scholar or commentator or some such thing. I wanted to make sure I got the Chesterton quote right, and as I looked into it, I found out the exact words I’d always thought were Chesterton’s were really Cammaerts, in a paraphrase of a point made by GKC.

Hope that’s of some value - I’m flattered you chased down that ancient post!
