"This collection seeks to give students and teachers a good time as they read and study together the great essayists of yesterday and today. A good balance has been preserved between yesterday and today; about one third of the essays were written before 1900 and two thirds since. This collection is unique in that it reaches clear back to ancient Greece and Rome. Some of the most exciting essays in the book are among the oldest. There is Plato's moving narrative of Socrates drinking the hemlock and Pliny's vivid description of his uncle's death beneath the ashes of the erupting Vesuvius. . . . Though this volume represents a time span of more than twenty-two centuries, nearly fifty per cent of the essays were written during the life time of the students who will read them. . . . There are two additional and novel features in this volume. To sharpen the appeal of the book to young readers, Miss Susanne Suba has prepared some twenty-three informal sketches for Essays of Yesterday and Today. These drawings, by the artist whose work we have enjoyed regularly in The New Yorker, have caught with uncanny penetration the central themes of the essays, grave or gay. In addition to these drawings we have used a total of fifty or sixty epigrams, anecdotes, or student 'boners' as fillers after many of the essays. The student may sometimes discover a relation between the filler and the preceding essay." Listing updated 6-6-2009. Seller Inventory # 004810
