Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Library of the Late Adrwn H. Joline of New York City, Vol. 1: American Books and Autograph Letters From boyhood, and during his long, active and useful life, the late Adrian H. Joline was especially interested in American and English history. The profound knowledge which he acquired, as the result of systematic and painstaking study in this and other fields, naturally suggested to him the collection of books and autographs. He entered with zest into the acquisition of important literary treasures; not so much for mere acquisition as for use and study. He collected with discrimination. His collection was made with a view to having his books and epochs and illustrate important incidents in the lives of distinguished men. He discarded the unimportant in order that he might, with important examples only, increase the historical and literary value of his daily and intimate companions. As his library and autograph collection grew and became of such importance, he wrote, at the suggestion of his friends, charmingly on the subjects he held in such great affection. His "Meditations of an Autograph Collection," the "Diversions of a Book Lover," and "Rambles in Autograph Land" are prized by collectors, not only for their literary value but as authoritative treatises on autographs and books. The "Edgehill Essays," the "Peapack Papers," and "At the Library Table" are among his other books. His writings are characterized by humor, philosophy, shrews observations of men and events, deep insight into political history and social life, strong human sympathy, and an intimate knowledge of the best literature.
