Literature and the American College: Essays in Defense of the Humanities. E-book. Formato PDF Irving Babbitt   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Nearly half the matter in this volume has been printed elsewhere. The Rational Study of the Classics, Literature and the College, and On Being Original are reproduced with immaterial changes from the Atlantic Monthly. Two papers in the Nation are combined with a great deal of new material in the essay on Literature and the Doctor's Degree. Portions of the essays on An cients and Modems and Academic Leisure are taken from two articles in the Harvard Graduates' Magazine. I wish to thank the publishers of these periodicals for permission to reprint.

Jataka Tales: Re-Told. E-book. Formato PDF Ellen C. Babbitt   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Long ago I was captivated by the charm of the Jataka Tales and realized the excellent use that might be made of them in the teaching of children. The obvious lessons are many of them suitable for little people, and beneath the obvious there are depths and depths of meaning which they may learn to fathom later on. The Oriental setting lends an additional fascination. I am glad that Miss Babbitt has under taken to put together this collection, and commend it.
