Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Little Verses and Big Names The proceeds from the sale of this book will be devoted to providing pure milk for sick babies and the maintenance of a Visiting Nurse. This fact is its excuse for being. Therefore, the purchaser is bound to get his money´s worth one way or another. But the book itself is unique. Every name in it is that of a notability in some walk of life, from the professional litterateur to the business magnate; from the well-known teacher, artist, statesman, actor, scientist, soldier, musician, lawyer, doctor or divine, to some famous publican and caterer. There are more than 57 - there are 40-11 varieties of mental pabulum, not to mention others that are sui generis. In one sense the book is a topsy-turvy miscellany of rhymes and jingles, personal anecdotes, business axioms, moral aphorisms, and the like; in another sense it represents the sweet and tender compassion of democratic America; the common and growing desire to help the helpless. And what so helpless as a baby! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
