Additional information

It is the normal, though not invevitable, practice in this journal for essay reviews to include a response by the author. Unless the author agrees in advance to write a response, the book will not normally be given an essay review. In this instance, the commissioning editor, Terry Dartnall, went through the usual procedure for a book he thought warranted an essay review, and John Cornwall agreed and was duly sent the review. However, he has not supplied us with a response, or indeed any reply, to the several messages sent by both Terry and myself. I think this is the first occasion on which this has happened. Of course, Richard McDonough is blameless in all this, and I am pleased to publish his very good essay review (Ed.).
