_EUPHUES._.
Reduced facsimile of title-page of the "Euphues" of John Lyly.
The Colophon reads:
Imprinted at London by Thomas East, for Gabriel Cawood dwelling
in Panics Church yard. 1581.
This is a good example of the quaint title-pages of the books of the
early printers;
showing the old-fashioned border, the true "old-style" type, the
ancient form of the S, the V, and the U, and the now obsolete
spelling of several words.
_EVPHVES._
THE ANATOMY
OF WIT.
Verie pleasaunt for all
Gentlemen to read, and
most necessarie to remember.
wherein are contained the
delightes that Wit followeth in his youth
by the pleasantnesse of love, & the happinesse
he reapeth in age, by
the perfectnesse of
Wisedome.
By John Lyly Master
of Art.
Corrected and augmented.
Imprinted at London
for Gabriel Cawood dwelling
in Paules. Church-yard.
(Continued from Volume I)
to the storms of air and sea; and while the soul of Mozart seems to
dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs
shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each
represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is
due to both.
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only
begins for man with self-surrender.
