1864 Compendium of Spencerian Cursive Handwriting Penmanship Spencer Illustrated
Platt Spencer was a 19th-century teacher best-known for his instruction in penmanship and developments in cursive handwriting styles. He published numerous works on handwriting systems including his book on Spencerian script. This style of cursive is beautifully described and illustrated in his book 'Compendium of Spencerian or Semi-angular Penmanship'. First published in 1848, this book became highly popular amongst American writers, particularly women. In fact, the title of this editions suggests that this book is a practice in "ladies' style" of writing.

"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven."
― John Milton, Paradise Lost
'Paradise Lost' follows the biblical story of the Fall of Man and the temptation of Adam and Eve. Milton himself states that purpose for this book was to "Justify the ways of God to Men". It covers the characters Adam, Eve, and Satan and the roles each played in the development of religious culture and idolatry.
It was critically acclaimed and well-received by many famed personalities, including Samuel Johnson who states.
"[Paradise Lost shows] Milton's peculiar power to astonish…and he seems to have been well acquainted with his own genius, and to know what it was the Nature had bestowed upon him more bountifully than upon others: the power of displaying the vast, illuminating the splendid, enforcing the awful, darkening the gloomy, and aggravating the dreadful.

"When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting."
– Jerome, Epistle 58
Saint Jerome was a 4th-century, early church father. While he was most known for his translation of the Bible, he also wrote a collection of letters which are now known his 'Epistles.' These letters were written on a variety of topics, but most of them were written as warnings against sin and detestable devices such as sexual immorality within the clergy, clothing advised for virgins, gluttony and fasting, and laboring over Biblical texts. These letters were written to and from important men and women of the church such as Augustine, Theophilus, Heliodorus, and the Popes.
This 1682 French edition was published in Paris by Couterot, translated by Jean Petit, and features a portrait frontispiece of Jerome.
