| BRIDGES, ROBERT The spirit of Man: an anthology in English and French from the philosophers and poets made in 1915 by Robert Bridges, O.M., Poet Laureate, & dedicated by gracious permission to His Majesty King George V London, Longmans Green. 1942. Hard Cover. 8vo, blue cloth. 449 extracts of philosophy and poetry, chiefly in English, some in French, without numbered pages. From the preface: ".the reader is invited to bathe rather than to fish in these waters: that is to say, the several pieces are to be read in context; and it is for this reason that no titles nor names of authors are inserted in the text, because they would distract the attention and lead away the thought and even overrule consideration. Yet, although there is a sequence of context, there is no logical argument: the demonstration is of various moods of mind, which are allowed free play, a sufficient guide to them being provided in the page-headings." The source of each poem or extract is given in the index. USD 26.00 [Appr.: EURO 17.5 | £UK 15.75 | JP¥ 2295] Book number: 11553 Click here to order or inquire at Kew Books Caxton. | ||

Along with this went admiration for difficulty in the thought.". USD 10.00 [Appr.: EURO 6.75 | £UK 6.25 | JP¥ 883] Book number: 11857 Click here to order or inquire at Kew Books Caxton. | ||
