Life and Literature; Over Two Thousand Extracts from Ancient and Modern Writers, and Classified in Alphabetical Order, by J. Purver Richardson. [Lynchburg, Va., Press of Brown-Morrison co., c1910]
435, xlvi p. 20 cm
This book is full of snippets of text that the compiler thought interesting and important enough to have printed together in a book. Unfortunately, I don’t have any information on Mr Richardson, except the pencilled notation on the title page that he is from Radford, VA.
