    Creative Mind by Ernest Shurtleff Holmes.

    This little book is an attempt to explain what each soul must discover for himself, that he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks. If it awakens within the consciousness of one single individual the realization that the mind of the Universal (which is the only mind that there is) is his own mind that the creative power of this mind is his also; that the manifestation of this mind is his own individuality; that the love and power and peace of this mind is within himself, it will not be written in vain. May it then do much in simplifying and bringing to light some of the deeper mysteries and meanings of life.

    Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ-John Bunyan

    Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ by John Bunyan.

    There are few men whose writings have been more honored in the Christian world, or more distinguished for usefulness, than those of John Bunyan. His remarkable life, the simplicity, faithfulness, and success, with which he preached the Gospel, and his deep acquaintance with the windings of the human heart, all combine to give a peculiar interest to the productions of his pen. His Pilgrim's Progress, especially, seems to have gained universal popularity. It is this that makes his works so universally acceptable. This little volume is designed to set forth the "Gospel Invitation"— the full and free offer of pardon and salvation to all who will come and receive it. The difficulties and objections which the sinner is so ready to raise, are one by one taken up, and their weakness and wickedness clearly exposed.

  • Four Hymns-Edmund Spenser

    Four Hymns-Edmund Spenser
    2026/11/09
    Four Hymns by Edmund Spenser.

    Spenser explains in the dedication of this volume that the hymns to love and to beauty were written early in his career and their "heavenly" counterparts much later, in response to the dissatisfaction that one of the author's patrons expressed toward the earlier poems, although to a modern sensibility those are in no way offensive except perhaps in focusing upon the sublunary world. However that may be, all four poems are idealistic, expressing the neo-Platonic philosophy that was growing in popularity in Elizabethan England. According to this doctrine, the soul is primary and shapes the body that clothes it. The material world is only a pale reflection of the ideal world, and mortals gradually, through growth from infancy to old age, unfold, or "dilate," the many-dimensioned wholeness of their being as it exists in eternity.

    Richard Strauss by Herbert Francis Peyser.

    There was not much truly spectacular about the course of [Strauss's] life, which was most happily free from the material troubles which bedeviled the existence of so many great masters... If “Salome” and “Elektra”, “Ein Heldenleben” and “Till Eulenspiegel” were in their day scandalously “sensational” did not the whirligig of time reveal them as incontestable products of genius, irrespective of inequalities and flaws? However Richard Strauss compares in the last analysis with this or that master he contributed to the language of music idioms, procedures and technical accomplishments typical of the confused years and conflicting ideals out of which they were born. His works are most decidedly of an age, whether or not they are for all time! From Author's Foreword.

  • George Frideric Handel-Herbert Francis Peyser

    George Frideric Handel-Herbert Francis Peyser
    2026/11/07
    George Frideric Handel by Herbert Francis Peyser.

    Handel’s long career resembles a gigantic tapestry, so bewilderingly crowded with detail, so filled with turmoil and vicissitude, with vast achievements, extremes of good and ill fortune, and unending comings and goings that any attempt to force even a small part of it into the frame of a tiny, unpretentious booklet of the present sort is as hopeless as it is presumptuous.... Handel was time and again a composer of exquisitely delicate colorations, and sensuous style, not to say a largely unsuspected master of many subtle intricacies of rhythm.

    Joseph Haydn; Servant And Master by Herbert Francis Peyser.

    Haydn, barring a few hardships in his youth, lived an extraordinarily fortunate life and had abundant reason for the optimism which marked every step of his progress.... Haydn was a master by the grace of Heaven and a servant only by the artificial conventions of a temporary social order... About the vast number of symphonies, the magnificent string quartets, the clavier works, the songs there can here be no question.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart by Herbert Francis Peyser.

    Mozart’s earthly career was so poignantly short yet so filled with incalculable achievement that the author of this booklet finds himself confronted with an impossible task. He has, consequently, preferred to outline as best he could in the space at his disposal a few successive details of a life that was amazingly crowded with incident, early triumphs, and subsequent crushing tragedies, rather than to consider (let alone evaluate) the staggering creative abundances the master bequeathed mankind.
