BOOKS  He who sells a soul a book Gives that soul a sweeping look Through its pages Down the Ages;

Gives that soul a ship to sail Where the great adventures hail, On the sea Of destiny;

Gives that soul a vision-wide As the skies where stars abide And the far Lone planets are;

Gives that soul great dreams to Dream! Sunlit ways that glint and gleam

 Where great Sages Tramp the Ages!   WILLIAM LE ROY STIDGER

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.   WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN

He who works with his hands is a laborer, He who works with his hands and his head is an artisan,

But he who works with his hands, his head, and his heart is an artist.  LOUIS NIZER

2 Finley, Martha (Farquharson) Elsie's Girlhood ELSIE DINSMORE SERIES # 3
New York The Goldsmith Company Reprint Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket 
THE ELSIE DINSMORE SERIES # 3 "A series of high-class Books for Girls, and suitable for Sunday School Prizes." ROUTLEDGE "Elsie Dinsmore is a children's book series written by Martha Finley (1828-1909) between 1867 and 1905. Initially, Elsie does not live with her parents but with her paternal grandfather, his second wife (Elsie's stepgrandmother), and their six children: Adelaide, Lora, Louise, Arthur, Walter, and Enna. Elsie's mother died soon after giving birth to her leaving her in the care of her grandfather. Before her father comes back she becomes good friends with Rose Allison, with whom she studies the Bible. Her father was in Europe until she was eight years old as the first book begins. The first Elsie books deal with a constant moral conflict between Christian principles and familial loyalty. Elsie's father is a strict disciplinarian who dictates inflexible rules by which his daughter must live. Any infraction is severely punished. In her father's absence Elsie has become a Christian and abides by Biblical law, especially the Ten Commandments. Her father regards this as ludicrous and in some cases as insolence. Elsie feels she must obey the Word of God before that of her father and can only obey her father when his orders do not conflict with Scripture. Her young uncle Arthur ruins her schoolbooks and does other damage which he blames on Elsie. Because Elsie will not "tattle", her father is ready to punish her, until she is saved by last-minute testimony from other relatives. He attempts to force her to break the Fourth Commandment several times, finally resulting in her having a complete nervous breakdown. In the original story of the second book, Elsie died, but this was rewritten as a near-death experience. Her father later marries Rose Allison and has two more children, Horace, Jr. and Rose, aka Rosie. 1.Elsie Dinsmore (1867) 2.Elsie's Holidays at Roselands (1868) 3.Elsie's Girlhood (1872) 4.Elsie's Womanhood (1875) 5.Elsie's Motherhood (1876) 6.Elsie's Children (1877) 7.Elsie's Widowhood (1880)" Wikipedia Good brown cloth.
