Milne went on to attend Westminster School, London, and Trinity College, Cambridge, the latter on a mathematics scholarship.

Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. If there is any artist who has been depressed by such thoughts as these, let him take comfort. And now in these days of strikes, when a single union of manual workers can hold up the rest of the nation, it is a bitter refection to us that, if we were to strike, the country would go on its way quite happily, and nine-tenths of the population would not even know that we had downed our pens and brushes. It was a wonder that we were allowed to live. Looking at the pictures in the illustrated papers of brawny, half-dressed men pushing about blocks of red-hot iron, we have told ourselves that these heroes were the pillars of society, and that we were just an incidental decoration. During the war we asked ourselves gloomily what use we were to the State compared with the noble digger of coals, the much-to-be-reverenced maker of boots, and the god-like grower of wheat. Probably we artists have all been a little modest about ourselves lately. Let us, then, consider what place in the scheme of things our federation can claim. One of them shall be President of our United Artists' Federation. Shakespeare can be representative of all of us, or Velasquez if you prefer him. Perhaps we have not quite reached the heights where Shakespeare stands, but we are on his track. By an "artist" I mean Shakespeare and Me and Bach and Myself and Velasquez and Phidias, and even You if you have ever written four lines on the sunset in somebody's album, or modelled a Noah's Ark for your little boy in plasticine.
