Excerpt from The Art of InvestmentThe solid fortunes have been amassed through investment and not made by speculation They have been built up by men who have developed character and willpower who have created depth and breadth of mind through concentration and experience rather than by men of exceptional native brilliancyThe serious practice of investment is a sturdy and businesslike pursuit It is in fact at the root of every business As an art it depends on no mystery or occult secret It consists of learning facts that are within the common reach and of applying principles capable of being assimilatedThe purpose of this book is to present an outline of principles it is not a manual of facts The discussion moreover is confined to the principles governing the investment of personal funds excluding the canons of institutional and trustee investment which is concerned with the funds of others Yet even as thus limited the subject is vast and the outline presented is not intended as an exhaustive treatment but merely as a foundation for orderly reasoning and inquirySome men come to knowledge of the key to constructive or wealthupbuilding investment in one way some in another There are men in every line of business who arrive at it early and forge ahead of their fellows The writer in setting forth principles professes no ready formula or open sesame save one that work brings masteryAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books Find more at wwwforgottenbookscom

Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Teaching ArtA training that calls for a very direct exercise of the critical powers developing judgment and skill is a training that will increase the individuals efficiency whatever his calling may beThe general public has not thought of art education in this way but has acknowledged the value of drawing especially when it can serve some utilitarian purposeA better understanding of the true usefulness of art recognizes creative power as a divine gift the natural endowment of every human soul showing itself at first in the form that we call appreciation This appreciation leads a certain number to produce actual works of art greater or lesser perhaps a temple perhaps only a cup but it leads the majority to desire finer form and more harmony of tone and color in surroundings and things for daily use It is the individuals right to have full control of these powersEven from the economic side that education is deficient which leaves one unable to judge of form and color when he is constantly required to use such judgment This lack of appreciation is responsible for an immense waste of labor skill and money in the production of useless and ugly things Works of fine art stand among the things which the world prizes most highly A nations ideals are revealed in its art and its art has greatest value when it is the expression of the spirit of the whole peopleAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books Find more at wwwforgottenbookscom

Excerpt from History of Art Ancient ArtFor a comparison of the older and the newer views of art history the reader can scarcely be referred to anything clearer than M Faures own discussion in the preface to the new edition of this work page xxxv His brief reference there to the synoptic tables at the back of each volume may be supplemented by the assurances received from various close students of the special schools and epochs who agree in vouching for the thoroughness with which this most objective com pilation of names and dates has been made A refer ence chart is thus constantly before the reader serving him as a road map does a traveler The text of most art histories does little more than amplify such tables The characteristic which distinguishes Elie Faures History of Art is that it shows the mass of facts func tionally as the living brain and heart of mankindAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books Find more at wwwforgottenbookscomThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work Forgotten Books uses stateoftheart technology to digitally reconstruct the work preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy In rare cases an imperfection in the original such as a blemish or missing page may be replicated in our edition We do however repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works
