A distillation of more than 3 years of reading, the First Volume of The Commonplace Book of Joshua Humphreys contains the formative reading that that author and playwright went through while learning the craft of novel-writing.With quotations, excerpts, and selections from over 300 poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, musicians, kings, queens, presidents, saints, & soldiers, and covering over 350 subjects, this priceless work forms half the backbone of The New Cavalier Reading Society--that noble and audacious group to whose members alone is the book available.
