And above all it is well to know his father, that sturdy Yankee who wrote bad verse and good books- professor of anatomy, talkative five-foot -five Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table who lived upon applause and said so with engaging fr (illustrator). The Story of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is, in a broad sense, the story of his country. The narrative cannot begin with the flat date of his birth-1841. This was a man whose presence carried tradition. His roots reached deep into American earth. it was the strength of these roots that permitted so splendid a flowering. To know Justice Holmes at eighty-courtly, witty, scholarly, kind-it is well to have acquaintance with his Calvinist grandfather, Abiel Holmes; with his handsome, worldly great-grandfather, Judge Wendell; with his mother, from whom he inherited, he said, "a trace of melancholy." And above all it is well to know his father, that sturdy Yankee who wrote bad verse and good books-professor of anatomy, talkative five-foot-five Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table who lived upon applause and said so with engaging frankness. By his own confession, Justice Holmes was an "internal man," to whom ideas were more interesting than things. But he was also a man of action. "Life is action and passion," he said. "I think it is required of a man that he should share the action and passion of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived." Holmes shared his country's action and passion on the soldier's field and the judge's bench.If the significance of his life lay wholly in his legal achievements, there would be no place for a biography written by a layman. If its significance lay wholly in his written words, there would be no place for a biography at all.But Holmes' greatness lay most of all in his manner of meeting life. Mrs. Bowen shows us his genius for living, his genius for finding himself wholly, using himself wholly. He loved life and believed in it. For him the act of learning was always an adventure. Passionately, until the morning of his death, he pursued knowledge. "To know is not less than to feel," he said. "A valid idea is worth a regiment any day." A man who has fought in the ranks, who has shed blood for his country, has a right to say such things.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Of a different stamp was David Noble, neighbor of the Grays and the son of impoverished new comers to Hamstead. From the very beginning, David was ambitious; he wanted money, and above all he wanted to become a doctor, and subordinated to both these hope (illustrator). Age discoloration around page edges; front cover/page slit where binding is, Book Pages are very good, no rips or tears; When Sylvia Carey came to the Grays' ramshackle homestead with a past to forget, her warmhearted generosity meant new lives for them all. The run-down farm and the old house became, under her imaginative direction, well-managed, thriving establishments. Only Austin Gray, the brilliant yet bitter son, whose penchant for the dissolute ways of Wallacetown so scandalized the village, refused her impulsive friendship- until that night when Sylvia, badly injured and faint with shock, sketched for Austin, with a bitterness matching his own, the sordidness of her own past. For both, that terrible, storm- filled night was an end- and a beginning. For Sylvia, it presaged the kindling of a tender, overwhelming passion she had never thought possible. For Austin, it meant spiritual fulfillment, broadened horizons and an all pervading love of a type he had not known before. But the difficulties were enormous, each was quick-tempered and proud, and the sins of both came back to haunt them. Their struggles, their temptations, their triumphs- how they twice lost and found each other- make a powerful story which you will not soon forget. Of a different stamp was David Noble, neighbor of the Grays and the son of impoverished newcomers to Hamstead. From the very beginning, David was ambitious: he wanted money, and above all he wanted to become a doctor, and subordinated to both these hopes was the desire to possess the lovely Jacqueline, half-French granddaughter of a wealthy Hamsteader. Forcibly separated from her by the irate grandfather, it was not until David had attained both his prior ambitions that he found Jacqueline once more, in France. No longer was she the fragile, shy, tender child whom he had worshiped so long, but an exquisite, sophisticated, worldly-wise woman, tremendously weary of her mode of living. Again David's luck held; and the romance flowered anew, until Jacqueline's own spirit and David's insane desire for total possession drove them apart once more. His subsequent bitterness, the truth about himself which finally came to him, his frantic efforts to find Jacqueline and the near-tragedy which occurred when he did are the warp and woof of this profoundly moving story.
