Talcott left me than I found this tucked up in my pockets. Will you give it to
Marguerite? A Mardi! ['til Tuesday!] Such a joy to see you so soon.
Affectionately yours.". 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. The ink has run slightly at spots, not at
signature. Slightly toned and creased. Overall, fine
condition.
