Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Windows of Character, and Other Studies in Science and Art The artist first makes his study. It may be a mere outline of what he is to paint, a fragment, a memory, yet full of suggestive hints for future elaboration. These papers are but Studies in Science, Art and Character; Thoughts for Thinkers. They outline, rather than finish; they recall, suggest, analyze. The synthesis that begins with careful analysis, ends in a system, not in a hypothesis. If abler hands find helpful data here, the author will be amply repaid. Citations in one paper may perhaps be found in another. These are not, however, vain repetitions. References to local circumstances made in the original addresses are preserved. They will not detract from the general interest of the themes presented. The aim of the whole has been to verify the beautiful figure borrowed from the ancient Athenian torch race, "We, Swift Runners, pass from hand to hand lighted torches." To the thousands who have honored him with their patient hearing in the lecture room, the college or the church, on either side the sea, these silent pages give again his grateful greeting.
