FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Sam Clemens, just turned twenty, made his first speech, an impromptu, at a printers? banquet in Keokuk on January 17, 1856. It was a tentative approach to a long career as lecturer and dinner speaker, as advocate of causes, and introducer at meetings charitable and political. By late middle age he was a veteran in demand for all sorts of occasions, from formal dinners to fund-raising campaigns. During the last decade of his life, as world citizen of international fame, he was regarded as an authoritative spokesman on all human affairs, so great an attraction that his presence at a function assured its success.

No marks in text. . . . . The theme of this collection, that of crossing a few unlikely paths, first emerged a year or two back, while I was re-dipping into the murky life of Edgar Allan Poe and re-encountering, that same afternoon, some of the worst of E. Hemingway's macho prose.

No marks. Might as well be new. Appears unread. . . . . . . . . . One year ago, I read an article about Wendell Berry in the Pough Magazine winter 2018 edition that focussed on 'staying human.'

I started with the first, "Nathan Coulter;" read the second, "A Place on Earth;" and just finished my third, "The Memory of Old Jack." I thoroughly enjoyed each book, each chapter,… Read More

In the present comprehensive volume the istory of military and other miniatures is traced from the earliest times through the Middle Ages and to the subsequent periods of famous and much sought-after masters of the art. Makers in almost every country are thoroughly classified and all that is known of their methods is recorded.* -- From dust jacket flap
