About this ebook

These "Fireside Papers" are all the flying years have left me of many happy hours . . In them linger the thoughts, hopes, and remembrances of evenings gladdened by the sweet fellowship of friends that age not with the failing strength of those who have loved them and who will always love them. The ancients called all good books a " Treasury of Remedies for the Mind," but they are more than that, for in them gather what is best in every age and land. The philosophers, poets, and teachers of all time are with us still. When they were on earth, as we are at the present moment, they were called living men and women; and now that we see them no more with the natural eye, we think of them as dead. Nevertheless they are not dead, but live and breathe and have their being in many books of priceless value.
