Wainwright, in part: "My very dear friend, I landed this morning. I am
leaving for Chicago [c/o Mrs. W.E. Clarke, 999, Lakeshore Drive] tomorrow. I
shall be there till Oct. 26th. From Nov. 3rd I shall be here with of course
frequent outflights of a day or two. I wonder if Mrs. Beliu has been able to
arrange about our Current Events. It may not be easy, but it would be a keen
disappointment to miss you". Ernest Dimnet (1866-1954) was a French
cleric, author and philosopher. His best known work, The Art of
Thinking (1930) invites the reader into a state of honesty where he
evaluates himself as a thoughtful human being, for humans too often only "think
of thinking" instead of actually thinking, which obstructs production of any
original thought. Dimnet is also well regarded for his books, What We Live
By (1932) and for his popular French translations of English books
written by Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte. Toned. Corners rounded. Light
surface creases. Otherwise, fine condition.
