	"Premature Anti-Fascist"--by Bernard Knox
		When in the autumn of 1933 I went up to St. John's college in Cambridge, Hitler was already dictator of Germany and had begun his program of militarization of the country; the prospect of a renewed European war was now a grim reality.
		Before we left, I had gone with John to visit his father in Cambridge; he was the distinguished Greek scholar Francis MacDonald Cornford, author of brilliant books on Attic comedy, Thucydides and Greek philosophy, and Plato.
		He gave it to John, and I had to smuggle it through French Customs at Dieppe, for John's passport showed entry and exit stamps from Port-Bou and his bags were likely to be given a thorough going-over.

	Jacket 20 - Hugh Sykes Davies - Cambridge Poetry (1955)
		Cornford tried to engage me in a controversy over the book — she and her school.
		Of this period the outstanding representative was John Cornford.
		Cornford’s own theory went to the limit in this direction: ‘There can be no doubt that the Future is with the revolutionary participator and not the “impartial observer”, nor the romantic-Utopian idealist.’ And in practice he also went to the limit, to death at the head of a machine-gun section in Spain.

	Harvard University Press: Popular Contention in Great Britain, 1758-1834 by Charles Tilly
		They would be very foolish...Historians have gone too far down the road with cultural theory and are in danger of negating their own vocation completely.
		Tilly reminds us, with John Cornford, that 'facts are stubborn things'--and that history without facts is a peculiar discipline indeed.
		Tilly has spent many years creating a database of some 8,000 'contentious gatherings' (CGs) from south-east England in 13 selected years between 1758 and 1828 and from the whole of Britain between 1828 and 1834...He thus provides a substantial quantitative backing for the identification of changes over time.
