One the happiest afternoons of my life was spent in the Bryn Mawr College library with Seymour Adelman, looking through items in the collection of rarities he had donated to that library. I looked through A.E. Housman's notebooks and held one of Keats's letters in my hand. Seymour Adelman was one of the most civilized men it has ever been my privilege to meet. He was a lawyer — and a boxing fan. He was not a professional writer. But I believe any book review he had written have been as worth reading as anyone's.
