Description

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.
