The Book of Happiness (Expressing the Joy of Great Writers) is full of lovely thoughts of the better side of life.

From 1928 and offered  by the Algonquin Publishing Company of New York, this treasure of a book. Originally offered by The P.F. Wolland Co., the 1928 copyright was entered at Stationers' Hall, London.

Such a great gift for a good friend or family member who is a fan of old books.

Here is a vintage copy that was well treasured. There is the original cover; it and the spine are in worn, but still hold the sewn pages in good stead. We can only hope that the reader enjoyed all of the pleasure within.

Introduction by the Editor, Margherita Osborne:
COMBINE four parts of Contentment, two parts of Joy and one of Pleasure. But these ingredients must be grown in one's own garden. Sometimes, not often, they may be obtained of a Good Friend.When so procured, a fair return must be made, else Happiness spoils and becomes trouble.

Sometimes Discontent and Ambition have been combined in a desire to obtain Happiness and Fame or Wealth have resulted, but Persons who have tasted these say that they are inferior substitutes.
Quotes are from the likes of Longfellow, Shakespeare, Byron, Seneca, etc. And from lesser known writers as Lydia Signourney, Hazlett, and more.
