The Professor at the Breakfast Table, with Illustr. by H.M. Brock [Scots]

By Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

"The Professor at the Breakfast Table" is a delightful collection of essays by Oliver Wendell Holmes, presented in a conversational and engaging style. Through witty banter and insightful observations, the Professor explores a range of topics, from the nature of conversation and the quirks of human behavior to the importance of intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge. This edition, enhanced with illustrations by H.M. Brock, brings a visual charm to Holmes's already vivid prose, making it an enjoyable read for those interested in the nuances of 19th-century American thought. Holmes's work remains relevant for its timeless reflections on life, learning, and the human condition.
