August 30, 1894 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Lover's Lexicon," by Frederick Greenwood. According to the author, no benefactors of human race have commanded so little love as the makers of the dictionaries. On the title page Greenwood enumerated the classes to whom his handbook is particularly addressed. The qualities that makes one love any man through his book are tenderness, generosity, and kindly humor, and the constant though not obtrusive presence of that wisdom which is born partly of experience, but more largely of intuitive perception of the secrets of the heart.
