Charles Williams, a first encounter

Image
Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886–1945) was an author and intellectual, born in Londen on September 20th 1886, went to st Albans school and the University College in Londen.

In short, let yourself be surprised, enjoy and perhaps let other interested ones know as well {:-)  Introduction   In making a collection of great catholic scientists many questions need to be answered regarding the approach, implementation and presentation.  First, which resources to use? I was not aware of earlier work in this direction, an important reason to start it myself. Besides, I'm not a histor...
