The French priest, best known for his philosophical book The Art
of Thinking, writes letter of thanks to a friend, signs name in black
ink
Autograph letter signed: "Ernest Dimnet" in black ink. 1 page,
5½x3½. Written on personal letterhead. Original envelope included. Scranton,
Pennsylvania. Addressed to Dr. Wainwright, in full: "Your wife
introduced me to day in less than 40 words, but it took care gift and years of
cultivation of it to choose those 40 words. I am sorry not to see you to tell
you once more how I appreciate your hospitality. The medal will be a precious
souvenir. Tres a vous". 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.
