The characters are chosen, for the most part, among plain people, because their feelings are expressed with fewer words and greater truth, not being costumed for social effect. The scene is laid on Nature's stage because I like to be out-of-doors." Owner name on endpaper and page 101. 1/8" tear at top of spine, pages tanned. An attractive book and a collection of written snapshots of life in another time. Good+.

From Wikipedia: Myrtle Reed ( 1874 -1911) Was An American Author, Poet, Journalist, And Philanthropist. She Wrote A Number Of Bestsellers And Even Published A Series Of Cookbooks Under The Pseudonym Olive Green. She Graduated From The West Division High School, Chicago, Where She Edited The School's Newspaper Called The Voice, During Which Time She Corresponded With James Sydney Mccullough, A Young Irish-Canadian Who Was Editing A College Newspaper In Toronto.[1] She Married Mccullough In 1906, After A Courtship Of Nearly 15 Years.[1] She Was A Diagnosed Insomniac With Prescribed Sleeping Drafts. She Died On August 17, 1911, Aged 36, Of An Overdose Of Sleeping Powder Taken With Suicidal Intent In Her Flat, Called "Paradise Flat" At 5120 Kenmore Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Her Suicide Letter, Written To Her Maid, Annie Larsen, Was Published The Following Day. Her Will Directed Her Estate Be Divided Among Eight Charities That For Several Years Had Been Favorites Of Their Benefactor; However, Her Estate Was Subjected To At Least Two Different Lawsuits. Paradise Flat, The Residence In Which She Died, Was Burgled During Her Funeral; Among The Stolen Items Were Several De Luxe Or Signed, Slipcased, Limited-Edition Novels Written By The Decedent. A Famous Epigram Of Myrtle Reed, Taken From Threads Of Gray And Gold, Declares: "The Only Way To Test A Man Is To Marry Him. If You Live, It's A Mushroom. If You Die, It's A Toadstool." According To The Obituary, Reed Held Many Home Entertainments Including A "Model Husband Contest" Which Her Husband Won, But Her Suicide Note To A Friend Stated "If My Husband Had Been As Good And Kind To Me And As Considerate As You I Would Not Be Going Where I Am".

Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Jacket condition is fine also. Binding designed by Margaret Armstrong, with her initials in the bottom right corner of each volume. (illustrator). The Bastille was the most famous of prisons. Only the Tower of London could be compared with it, and while the Tower has attained a greater age, and has harbored kings, princes, and many of England's most famous sons, yet the Bastille appealed more strongly to the imagination. It seemed the visible symbol of tyranny; mystery hung over the fate of those immured within it; many of them were confined without charge, remained without trial, and suffered without record. In its annals, both romance and history have found abundant material. As is the case with many famous institutions, tradition has somewhat exaggerated its importance. Mr. Bingham tells us that when the Bastille was captured by the Parisian mob, it contained only seven prisoners, obscure and unimportant criminals. It had become no more than an ordinary prison; except as marking the beginning of a Revolution, its overthrow was not deserving of long commemoration. Even in the days when the Bastille was reserved for more dignified offenders, its terrors somewhat diminish as we study history. The most of its inmates were persons of social importance, and they usually had all the comforts that were consistent with restraint. During the reign of Louis XV, many persons famous in literature were sent to the Bastille, in order to manifest the government's disapproval of their views. Ribbon marker in volume I is a little frayed at the end but that is about the extent of damage. These two exquisite volumes, now 120 years old are so beautiful and fresh and bright and untarnished.
