Synopsis

Excerpt from My Favorite Book-Shelf: A Collection of Interesting Instructive Reading From Famous Authors

The current of many a life has been changed and its living made the better by a calm perusal of the philosophy of life. Such close Observers of the great problem as Thackeray, Hugo, Lever and Bulwer, who look on life from the stand point of romance, are here grouped together with many of the serious and even pessimistic philosophers, such as Schopen hauer and Hume, as well as with Tyndall and Huxley, who deal with the matter from the cold uncompromising height of Science.

It is the personality of these authors I wish in evidence in my work, and not my own. It would be presumption on the part of any man, at this late day, to do more than call the atten tion of the reading public to their works. They are well able to speak for themselves, and, as they Often do, teach us how to live as well as how to die!
