About This Item
New York: Alfred A Knopf. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1920. First US Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Light wear; Dust Jacket spine sun, light soil/rub, small chips and light edgewear. Solid hardcover. ; "What he preaches in the ensuing aphorisms is the emancipation of the modern spirit from its rotting heritage of ingenuous fears and exploded certainties. What he denounces most bitterly is the abandonment of a world that is beautifully surprising and charming to the rule of sordid, timid and unimaginative men - the regimentation of ideas in a system that is half a denial of the obvious and half a conglomeration of outworn metaphors, all taken too literally." - Introduction by H L Mencken. First US Edition, First Printing, in Dust Jacket, of Muir's first work. ; The Free Lance Books; 244 pages .
