His was the blessed sense of humour, which, in the highest analysis, is only another name for understanding. He laughed at foibles, but he did not sit in judgment upon faults. He was a keen critic, but he was content to sift the wheat from the chaff without smother ing his readers in the dust of the controversial threshing-fioor. H e talked with his books and autographs rather than about them; and any interested bystander, who cared to join the friendly circle, was sure of a welcome; the only password was sympathy, the only quali fication, a measure of the host's own kindly tolerance. Overburdened with the many cares of his busy professional life, he yet made time and occasion for communion with the immortals, and in their noble company he found inexhaustible refreshment for both body and mind. And so, when he wrote about his books, and their makers, the domi nant note was that of an affectionate gratitude for benefits bestowed, for happiness conferred. His own literary work was a ministry of un. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Book About Autographs Classic Reprint written by Simon Gratz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book About Autographs Other books, such as Mr. Adrien H. Joline's very entertaining Meditations Of an Autograph Collector and Rambles in Autograph Land, consist mainly Of the text Of letters in his collection, which serve as a basis for the expression Of thoughts, Observations, and comments, sometimes profound, sometimes humorousor sarcastic, but always interesting and frequently in structive. The same comment is true, though in a much smaller degree, of the little book written by Mr. George R. Sims, entitled Among My Autographs. These books have, therefore, a character that is literary, and distinctly different from the practical treatment Of the subject which is intended to be followed in this volume. From all available sources the writer has tried to gather whatever will help to give collectors something approaching an adequate knowledge of the taste for collecting autographs, and its progress from small be ginnings to the prominence it has now attained. In the belief that a portion Of the subject which has hither to been neglected should receive proper consideration, much Space is given to a detailed account Of a number Of the leading collections that have, in years past, made their appearance at public sales after the death of their owners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New picture book by a two-time Newbery Honor-winning author! The delightful story of an unconventional family of kids who learn the ups and downs of working together. Merra, Locky, Roozle, Finn, and little Jory love their ramble shamble house. It's a lot of work taking care of the garden, the chickens, and themselves, but they all pitch in to make it easier--even Jory, who looks after the mud puddles. When they come across a picture of a "proper" house in a book, they start wondering if their own home is good enough. So they get to work "propering up" the garden, the chickens, and even the mud puddles. But the results aren't exactly what they expected, and when their now-proper household's youngest member goes missing, they realize that their ramble shamble home might be just right for their family, after all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Bible Lands Here in these 'morning lands' the traveller who has exhausted the sights and scenes of civilized Europe will come upon a new world, where all is strange and has for him the charm of perfect novelty, though it actually exhibits a life years old! Whatever we do, they may be said to do the same thing in another way, and they live under an environment foreign to ours at all points. Volney, in his Travels Syria, states this very emphatically. He says it is a wonderful thing that men of like passions with ourselves and of the same indo-european Stock should do everything differently from us, and should live under surrounding conditions Of life foreign to ours at all points. Men with us, when they shave, shave their faces, but never their head. Throughout the East they never let a razor touch their face, but Shave the whole of their head till it is perfectly bald, save one small lock, left by the Mohammedans on the crown. We wear close-fitting, and in most cases far from elegant, healthy, or comfortable garments. They, on the contrary, wear loose, flowing, most artistic, most sanitary, and most elegant clothingwtheir raiment nowhere compressing their person, except where, in the case Of men, women, and children, the girdle, the 207mm.
