Paul Elder and Company announce for fall publication, in a special limited edition, "Upland "Up-land Pastures," a series of out of door essays by Adeline Knapp. These essays, so far as they are localized, deal with the beautiful things of spring and summer in California. They are permeated, per-meated, however, with a philosophy which is universal; uni-versal; their readings are from the broad page which nature spreads 'open for us everywhere that who will may learn Its message of beauty and of rejoicing. The essayist says: "All the things of nature are for man's use and joy; but perhaps they serve their highest use when he returns God thanks for their beauty." The edition is to be imited to 1,200 copies, printed from type which will not be used in any other edition, on Ruisdale, hand-made paper, with rubricated titles and initials, and a photogravure of a painting made for the book Dy William Keith. i 1,100 copies only are to be for sale. |
