I have received your new book against the human race,

and thank you for it. Never was such a cleverness used in

the design of making us all stupid. One longs, in reading

your book, to walk on all fours. But as I have lost that habit

for more than sixty years, I feel unhappily the impossibility

of resuming it. Nor can I embark in search of the savages of

Canada, because the maladies to which I am condemned

render a European surgeon necessary to me; because war

is going on in those regions; and because the example of

our actions has made the savages nearly as bad as

ourselves.

Who sent this letter to whom? Hint : You’ve probably seen

both their names in a book of quotes

Answer -

Both were great thinkers of the Enlightenment Age.

X’s name originally was Y. Y had to devote attention to

army duties, and could not find enough time for practice.

While his regiment rested at night, he practised alone on

the field with a ball and a stick. While they rested, his army

mates could hear him hitting the ball at night. This was how

Y became X because he used to practise the game under

moonlight. Former Aussie cricketer Sir Donald Bradman

met X in 1935. After watching him play, Bradman

remarked "He scores goals like runs in cricket".

Who is this X(and Y)?
