To a Young American Book-Hunter
To a Young American Book-Hunter, the journey begins with far more than just shelves and spines—it opens with a recognition of solitude, joy, and the curious discipline that collecting demands. A letter sent to Philip Dodsworth speaks not only with encouragement but with gentle caution. The writer understands how easy it is to be swept away by the charm of books, the smell of paper, and the pride of acquisition. Yet enthusiasm can lead to cluttered shelves and hollow purchases when one lacks a focused…-

Chapter
Rochefoucauld
Rochefoucauld stands as one of literature’s sharpest critics of human behavior, wielding his pen like a scalpel to dissect motives and strip sentiment to its skeleton. Writing to Lady Violet Lebas, the author offers an appreciation of the elegance in Rochefoucauld’s prose but raises concern over the bleakness of his conclusions. The maxims, while brilliantly phrased, often cast suspicion on kindness, suggesting it stems not from generosity but from vanity or fear. This persistent reduction of all human…-

Plotinus (A.D. 200–262)
Plotinus (A.D. 200–262) stands as a vivid figure in the landscape of ancient thought, blending mysticism with a structured philosophical pursuit of the divine. Born in Lycopolis, Egypt, he found early direction in the teachings of Alexandria, a center that offered both intellectual rigor and spiritual speculation. His life, though marked by failed ambitions—such as his thwarted journey to India—was nonetheless filled with an intense inward journey. He sought not just to understand the divine but to…-

On Virgil
On Virgil, the exploration begins not with reverence but with a quiet honesty. The author addresses Lady Violet Lebas in a tone that resists conventional praise, emphasizing that true appreciation of literature must arise naturally rather than from obligation or academic consensus. He confesses a lack of emotional attachment to several literary giants often held in high esteem, not from ignorance but from a preference for works that spark a personal, visceral reaction. This establishes a context in which…-

Chapter
On Vers De Société
On Vers De Société opens a thoughtful exploration into the delicate craft of sociable poetry, the kind meant not for grand epics or deep philosophical contemplation, but for gentle wit, refined charm, and light emotional touch. Rather than originate in the ancient worlds of Greece or Rome, where societal hierarchies and the exclusion of women shaped cultural expression, this genre blossomed later in the elegant courts of France. It was there, in an atmosphere of leisure, subtle flirtation, and cultivated…-

ON BOOKS ABOUT RED MEN
"ON BOOKS ABOUT RED MEN" opens with a tone of warm nostalgia, where a gentleman writes to a young schoolboy, Dick, about his own youthful fascination with stories of Native American life. The writer recalls days spent pretending to be an “Indian,” trying and failing to make a tomahawk or mimic Hiawatha’s rituals. He shares that the stories weren’t just imaginative fuel but sources of great enthusiasm—so much so that he once stuffed a peace pipe with tea leaves and promptly sickened himself. What…-

Chapter
Of Vers De Societe
Of Vers De Societe opens with a pointed response to Mr. Gifted Hopkins, whose poetic attempt is critiqued not out of malice, but out of a desire for refinement. The form he attempted, though seemingly light, demands more than charm—it calls for a subtle mastery of tone, wit, and restraint. Unlike other poetic expressions where emotion may roam free, society verse must flirt with feeling without ever losing its composure. The Greeks, despite their lyrical prowess, left little to this genre due to the…-

Of Modern English Poetry
"Of Modern English Poetry" emerges a compelling conversation about literary evolution and the selective brilliance found in the present age. As poetic voices multiply across continents, there is merit in focusing on a few whose contributions have quietly shaped English verse. Instead of sweeping assessments, examining the individual paths of Mr. Swinburne, Mr. William Morris, and Mr. Robert Bridges gives a clearer view of where poetry has been and what it may become. These three, distinct in tone and…-
