EUPHUES..
Reduced facsimile of title-page of the “Euphues” of John Lyly.
The Colophon reads:
Imprinted at London by Thomas East, for Gabriel Cawood dwelling in Panics Church yard. 1581.
This is a good example of the quaint title-pages of the books of the early printers; showing the old-fashioned border, the true “old-style” type, the ancient form of the S, the V, and the U, and the now obsolete spelling of several words.
EVPHVES.
Verie pleasaunt for all
Gentlemen to read, and
most necessarie to remember.
wherein are contained the delightes that Wit followeth in his youth by the pleasantnesse of love, & the happinesse he reapeth in age, by the perfectnesse of Wisedome.
By John Lyly Master
of Art.
Corrected and augmented.
Imprinted at London for Gabriel Cawood dwelling in Paules. Church-yard.
(Continued from Volume I)
to the storms of air and sea; and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
