The Note Books of Samuel Butler is a must-read for fans of Butler's work and anyone interested in the intellectual and cultural landscape of the late 19th century.The whole life of some people is a kind of partial death--a long, lingering death-bed, so to speak, of stagnation and nonentity on which death is but the seal, or solemn signing, as the abnegation of all further act and deed on the part of the signer. Death robs these people of even that little strength which they appeared to have and gives them nothing but repose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
