Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from About Many Things
For the thinker, the way out of that danger is to keep close to the near and familiar source from which thought springs. Thought rises like a wholesome perfume from life itself. Abstract it too much from life and it weakens, strays, becomes useless and untrue. For this reason the sources of thought are given in these essays as well as the thought itself; so that all readers can arrive at the same, or a better thought than mine, in their own minds.
