Seller's Description:
Fair. No dust jacket. Fair structurally intact with some looseness, pages have yellowed, some soil and/or wear, cover has edge and corner wear, owner inscription inside. 235 pages includes appendix "Some suggestions in regard to reading": p. [231]-235. Each generation will have a set of problems reflecting their concerns. This book was written around the times of the first "world war", yet to me it seems prevalent to contemporary times. It also suggest that we will always have something to challenge our minds.
