[figure description] Paste-Down Endpaper with Bookplate: heraldry figure with a green tree on top and shield below. There is a small gray shield hanging from the branches of the tree, with three blue figures on that small shield. The tree stands on a base of gray and black intertwined bars, referred to as a wreath in heraldic terms. Below the tree is a larger shield, with a black background, and with three gray, diagonal stripes across it; these diagonal stripes are referred to as bends in heraldic terms. There are three gold leaves in line, end-to-end, down the middle of the center stripe (or bend), with green veins in the leaves. Note that the colors to which this description refers appear in some renderings of this bookplate; however, some renderings may appear instead in black, white and gray tones.[end figure description]

Who will so well remember what I knew
As you, whenever comes the day to part?
We have ascended one wide scale,
With all emotion in its pale;
Girl, boy, woman and man, untrue and true,
Together or apart—with the same heart.

Preface
[figure description] Preface.[end figure description]
“Let us treat the men and women well: treat them as if they
were real: perhaps they are.”
“Nature, as we know her, is no saint. The lights of the Church,
the Ascetics, Gentoos, and corn-eaters, she does not distinguish by
any favor. She comes eating and drinking and sinning. Her darlings—
the great, the strong, the beautiful—are not children of our
law; do not come out of the Sunday-School, nor weigh their food,
nor punctually keep the Commandments.”
Emerson.
