About the Book Poetry is a form of literature that applies aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to elicit emotion and meanings in addition to, or in place of, the ostensible sound / meaning. The sonnet is of the most common forms of poetry, which was popular from the Late Middle Ages. By the 13th century the sonnet was standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme and logical structure. Odes were first developed by poets writing in ancient Greek, like Pindar, or in Latin, like Horace. Odes appear in many of the cultures that were influenced by Ancient Greece and Rome. An elegy is a melancholy mournful poem, which may be a lament for the dead.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Some of the most humorous of his letters which have come under the observation of his clerical friends, were addressed to the secretary of one of them. Some little business matters with regard to his readings and the like had acquainted him with a better kind of handwriting than he had been accustomed to receive from his pastor, and, noting the finely appended signature, "per —— ——," Field wrote a most effusively complimentary letter to his ministerial friend, congratulating him upon the fact that emanations from his office, or parochial study, were "now readable as far West as Buena Park." At length, nothing having appeared in writing by which he might discover that —— —— was a lady of his own acquaintance, she whose valuable services he desired to recognize was made the recipient of a series of beautifully illuminated and daintily written letters, all of them quaintly begun, continued, and ended in ecclesiastical terminology, most of them having to do with affairs in which the two gentlemen only were primarily interested, the larger number of them addressed in English to "BrOther ——," in care of the minister, and yet Others directed in Latin: Ad Fratrem —— —— In curam, Sanctissimi patris ——, doctoris divinitatis, Apud Institutionem Armouriensem, CHICAGO

With an Introduction by Roswell Martin Field The charming literary quality and intimate personal tone of this book will endear it to all of Mr. Field's many admirers. It is delightfully original in conception, treating in autobiographical form of such inviting topics as The Luxury of Reading in Bed, The Mania of Collecting, Ballads and their Makers, Booksellers and Printers Old and New, Pleasures of Extra Illustration, Odors which Books Exhale, etc., etc. "Contains so much of his sincerest thought and feeling....Eugene Field was a collector of the enthusiastic kind, and it is not strange that his fervor at last found vent in the way in which it did. We must all concede that the way is certainly a happy one, and that its discoverer has admirably exploited its possibilities....Whether we consider his disclosures of the pleasures and weaknesses of the bibliophile, in which he was so immersed and which he knew so well, or whether we read his renderings of Horace into a modernity at times perhaps somewhat too insistent, we touch the truest chord of the poet's nature; and when we come to his songs of the intimate life of home and childhood, we are aware of a gift unique and tender." -The Dial "Mr. Field for many years, during nearly a quarter of a century of journalistic work, celebrated in prose and verse the pleasures of book-hunting. His newspaper contributions contain many sly digs and gentle scoffings as those of his unhappy fellow citizens who became notorious, through his instrumentality, in their devotion to old book-shelves and auction sales." -The Literary Digest "As the last work of one of the brightest writers that the West has given us, this book would be widely read even if it lacked the graces which adorned what he had before given to an appreciative multitude of readers. But it has all the attractions which a labor of love displays when coupled with literary skill. As poet, storyteller, and journalist we all new Eugene Field, and as a lover of rare books he had a reputation almost as widespread. Therefore i this little book we may read between the lines as much as we choose; but it would be error, knowing that an autobiographical thread runs through the winsome sketches, to take him always too literally. But in the guise of the gentle bibliophile of 72, one in sympathy can easily discern the kindred spirit of the author....The wit is gentle and refined and the pathos is tender. And we can see how much the world of letters lost when Eugene Field left us." -Public Opinion "The Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac' is the Bandusian spring which flows from the mind of the observant traveler and refined scholar. It is the story of mental growth, and it depicts the joys found in books, 'those sacred vessels of wisdom,' from the genesis of 'Robinson Crusoe' to the revelations of the 'Odes of Horace.' To the lover of books and to the lover of what they contain, upon this volume is founded the supreme hope of a place in literature for the writings of Eugene Field." -The Literary Digest "This is the last work from the pen of Eugene Field and is largely autobiographic, besides possessing a charming literary quality." -The Publishers Weekly
