and one unidentified signature, 3¾x6½ flyleaf, affixed along with three portions of book jacket to 13x9½ page. Flyleaf of
The Brains Trust Book
(Hutchinson's Booklover's Library), n. d. McCullough has added above and below the signatures:
"With all good wishes/Yours intellectually/'It never Brains but it Pours!/August 1942"
. Ink note on mounting page (unknown hand): "32 years-old signatories in flyleaf of book purchased at OXFAM shop CROYDON 8-10-74."
The Brains Trust
ran on the BBC Home Service during World War II (1941-1945) and later on British television
. A rotating panel of intellectuals answered questions submitted by the listening/viewing audience on wide-ranging topics from international politics to religion.
Sir JULIAN HUXLEY (1887-1975) was the grandson of scientist and evolution advocate T.H. Huxley and the older brother of author Aldous Huxley (
Brave New World
). Sir Julian was best known as a biologist and ecologist
; he
wrote many popular scientific books
, including
Essays of a Biologist
,
Essays in Popular Science
,
The Individual in the Animal Kingdom
,
Religion Without Revelation
and
The Stream of Life
. He was the
first Director-General (1946-1948) of
the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (
UNESCO
).
BERNARD DARWIN (1876-1961), the grandson of evolution theorist Charles Darwin, was golf correspondent of the London
Times for 46 years, beginning in 1907
.
Himself a skilled golfer, he won several amateur tournaments and played in the first Walker Cup match (1922). In his spare time, Darwin practiced law and
edited the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
. The World War I veteran was an expert on Charles Dickens.
HOWARD
MARSHALL (1900-1973)
was a British sports commentator, specializing in Cricket, who also broadcast reports from the D-Day landings in France (1944) for the BBC. He covered many public events, including the coronations of King George VI (1937) and Queen Elizabeth II (1953).
HOWARD
THOMAS (1909-1986)
was a successful radio/TV producer for the British Broadcasting Company who later fell out with the BBC and challenged its TV monopoly as a producer for ITV (Independent Television).
A. B.
CAMPBELL (1881-1966)
was a
naval historian
, whose books included
Customs and Traditions of the Royal Navy
and
Yarns of the Seven Seas
. Campbell, known on
The Brain Trust
for giving quick answers beyond his areas of expertise, aggravated other panelists, especially Huxley. Apparently, this added to the show's appeal.
DONALD
McCULLOUGH (1901-1978)
, as chairman of the popular program, wrote the introduction to this book. McCullough wrote humorous books on a variety of subjects, from contract bridge to highway safety. One-quarter-inch tear at bottom edge of flyleaf. Horizontal and vertical folds on mounting page. Otherwise, fine condition.
