SPIRIT OF THE AGE SERIES
The publishers desire to announce that it is their purpose to
comprise in this series a collection of little books uniform in
general style and appearance to the present volume and having for
their subjects men and women, whose work and influence, in whatever
field of literature or art was their chosen one, may be said to
faintly reflect the spirit or tendencies of cultivated thought at
the present time.
The treatment of the subject matter will not be conventional, the
chief aim being to present to the readers a living, marching
personality breathing with the individuality characteristic of the
person.
Volume I of this series is Whistler
by Haldane Macfall
Volume II, Robert Louis Stevenson
by Eve Blantyre Simpson
Additional volumes to be announced shortly.
"A spirit all sunshine, graceful from
every gladness, useful because
bright." Carlyle.
The mother of Robert Louis Stevenson, when asked to inscribe a motto
on a guest list, wrote:--
"The world is so full of a number of things,
I am sure we should all be happy as kings.
