Item description from seller

This is a small format booklet with handmade paper and a string binding. The booklet is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. THe spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing. There is an inch long semi-closed tear to the top edge of the front cover of the book. The text pages are generally clean and bright. The contents include: Heart to Heart Talks with Philistines by the Pastor and his Flock and a group of aphorisms. "The Philistine: A Periodical of Protest (1895-1915) , the most successful of the American "little magazines," was published monthly by the flamboyant businessman and radical, Elbert Hubbard. His magazine printed controversial poetry (including many of Stephen Crane's "lines" for the first time) and progressive essays attacking militarism, the clergy and church dogma, and orthodox thought in general. Among other writers represented in The Philistine were George Ade, Claude Fayette Bragdon, Rudyard Kipling, Leo Tolstoy, and Eugene R. White. Hubbard's acerbic observations over two decades regarding the establishment and the leading figures and periodicals of his time make his magazine valuable as primary source material for literary and cultural historians of his period.
