Childishness and Brutality of the Time

$35.80
 
Some Plain Truths in Plain Language Supplemented by Sundry Discursive Essays and Narratives, �������I have for a certain number of years concluded that our present age has become vastly too swift for that which, by a contradictory metaphor, may be called, �������safe-running.' There are various reasons for this falling off. Principally among these causes are love of show, love of money, love of self. All these are good qualities in moderation; but, exaggerated and forced to an extreme they fail.������� Contents: The Newspapers, The Generally False, affected and pretentious literature of the present day, Life Assurance: Some judicious warnings concerning the abuse of it, Modern Advertising�������Its emptiness�������Its falseness, Our Governing Classes, The Drama Generally, and the Theatre, Before and behind the curtain at the Opera, Law and Lawyers, Society, Silly men, Conceited men, A droll story, A singular American.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
