	R. H. Robson in the chair. &lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
1. The minutes of last [two meetings] read &amp; approved. &lt;br/&gt;
2. R. H. Robson gave an introductory sketch of Hilaire Belloc &amp;amp; his work. &lt;br/&gt;
Belloc was educated at the Oratory School &amp;mdash; at that time in Birmingham, &amp; 
became later an M.P. with a Liberal but independent outlook. He made himself a 
champion of Roman Catholicism, wrote on such varied subjects a military tactics, 
yachting, religion, &amp; politics, topography, history especially the French Revolution, 
as well as producing novels and poetry. &lt;br/&gt;
R. H. Robson read, as specimens of his work, his opinion of St. Just, and his 
account of the Battle of Hastings. &lt;br/&gt;
Other readings were given by later contributors. &lt;br/&gt;
