The Gentlest Art
A Choice of Letters By Entertaining Hands
Edited by E.V. LUCAS
Cloth, $1.25 net.
An anthology of letter-writing so human, interesting, and amusing from first to last, as almost to inspire one to attempt the restoration of the lost art.
"There is hardly a letter among them all that one would have left out, and the book is of such pleasant size and appearance, that one would not have it added to, either."—The New York Times.
"Letters of news and of gossip, of polite nonsense, of humor and pathos, of friendship, of quiet reflection, stately letters in the grand manner, and naïve letters by obscure and ignorant folk."
