Just wanted to state that I have now updated my printed version of the book "The Speaker" Articles (formerly GKC Speaks), so that it includes all 112 of the pieces which GKC wrote for the newspaper "The Speaker" early in his career. (At least, I think that is all of them. When doing the Kindle version, I had accidentally forgot 3 pieces. Oops!). Anyway, just in case you are interested, here is the link to the printed version:
"The Speaker" Articles
And here is the description:
_____________________
"It must be resolutely proclaimed that into the world of wonder there is
no gate but the low gate of humility, through the arch of which the
earth shines like elfland."
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), one of the
most influential and quotable authors of the twentieth century, was
first and foremost a journalist. Among his earliest articles were those
which he contributed to the paper "The Speaker." This volume contains
all 112 pieces which he wrote for that paper (ranging in dates from 1892
to 1905), some of which were reprinted in later books, such as "The
Defendant" (1901), but most of which have not been. They contain many
valuable nuggets of Chesterton's wit and wisdom, and will prove of great
interest to devoted Chestertonians as well as newcomers to the "Prince
of Paradox."
