Later ("Ninth Thousand") printing of this popular, oft-reprinted essay collection by the popular essayist and clergyman (1818-1909) -- a mishmash of writings largely concerning things literary and bookish, with such titles as "Professorships of Books and Reading," "Literary Triflers," "Are We Anglo-Saxon?," "Book-Buying," etc. A wonderfully fresh copy.
