6 See his review of Arthur Bryant's The age of elegance, 1812–1822 (London, 1950), in [Anon.], ‘Portrait of an age’, Times Literary Supplement, 17 Nov. 1950, p. 726; although Bryant was effusive in his praise of Butterfield's History and human relations (1951) in Sunday Times. See McIntyre, p. 209.
7 On receiving a copy of the review, Barker reinforced Butterfield's negative view of Rowse: ‘I confess that he gets on my nerves. I have admired some of his work. But the ipse behind the work – what a lot of that ipse there is!’ Barker to Butterfield, 27 July 1949, Butterfield papers, Cambridge University Library.

12 Reviewing was a different matter. For example, Keith Feiling, Hugh Trevor-Roper, and D. C. Somervell reviewed an extensive range of history books for national newspapers, and on a regular basis.
13 As part of his Bibliography, McIntire gives the full list of Butterfield's failed projects and missed opportunities, including an invitation by Rowse in 1973 to contribute a political biography of an eighteenth-century figure to a popular series, ‘Men and their times’ (pp. 485–6).
