ERNEST DIMNET
The French philosophizing priest, known for his book The Art of
Thinking, wishes his friend "bon voyage!", signs name in black ink
Autograph letter signed: "Ernest Dimnet" in black ink. 1 page,
6x8 folded. Written on personal letterhead. Original envelope included. Chicago,
Illinois. Addressed to Mrs. J. Wainwright, in full: "My Dear Friend, I
am glad I am not going to Scranton if you are not going to be there. Scranton to
me has been your house and welcome and constantly watchful friendship. Bon
voyage to you two. 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. Normal mailing folds. Toned.
Corners rounded. Light surface creases. Otherwise, fine
condition.
