Book Description
Excerpt from American Leaves: Familiar Notes of Thought and Life The papers that make up this volume were written at leisure hours, of late years, on the spur of various occasions and experiences, and, with a single exception, they have in substance appeared in Harper's Monthly Magazine. They of course differ widely in style and topic, and range freely into various fields of thought and observation, yet they agree in being in close sympathy with American life in treating the struggles, fears, hopes, and aspirations of our common lot. There is no attempt at the regular order of an ethical or philosophical treatise, yet there is something of interior unity in the volume, and attentive readers may perhaps own that there is more of the reality than the show of careful and consistent thinking. Some thirteen years ago the Harper Brothers invited me to write for their Magazine, and I have done so more or less frequently since. If my humble experience is worth quoting, I will say honestly what has been the result of the effort. It seemed to me an awkward and difficult thing for a man perhaps over-scholastic in his thoughts and studies to write for the many in the most popular of American magazines, and I began with a good deal of diffidence. Now, after these years of occasional service, I can express my gratitude to the Monthly for two principal reasons - one of them expected, the other unexpected.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Leaves Produce a sense of boredom we know so well all that the writer is likely to say, and that almost certainly there will be nothing of news or interest in them that it will be a weariness to read them, and that they will go immediately into the fire when read. There are a few - how few as life goes on - the sight of which gives one a thrill Of delight and these, according to individual temperament, we either Open greedily at first or reserve as a bonne-bouche for the last. It is when we are young that the receipt of letters in public - at the break fast-table, for example - is most likely to cause us embarrassment, for in youth a business letter is a rare thing nearly all one's communications are of a personal character, and many of them are not unconnected with romantic emotions. We feel that the eyes of the breakfast-table - those deadly, observant eyes of the surrounding family - are upon us if we do Open the letter we shall have to read it under that fire of glances; if we do not, we thereby advertise the fact that it is of too private and sacred a nature to be read in public. We feel it impossible, if we Open it and read it, that some casual glance will not observe the disposition of writ ing on the front pa ge - whether it begins with three short words like My dear John whether there are only two words (the longer one first), which can only be darling or dearest whether there is only one short word, which is certainly one Of endearment or whether there is no line of.

Excerpt from Leaves of Life Day by day we add them, these Leaves of Life, to the great Book of Time. Let us endeavor to make each day's leaf a clean one, free of blotch or smear.
