Excerpt from The Round Table: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men and Manners
IT has often struck me, in common with other luxurious persons who are fond of reading at breakfast, and who are well-tempered enough, particularly on such occasions, to put up with a little agreeable advice, that there has now been a sufficient distance of time since the publication of our good old periodical works, and a sufficient change in matters worthy of social observation, to warrant the appearance of a similar set of papers.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book arose from conversations between the author and other writers and thinkers, who looked to revive the periodical essay form. The essays explore ideas about everyday life and philosophical concepts, including morality, aesthetics, and literature. The author, who is known for his lyrical and engaging prose, draws heavily on his readings in philosophy, particularly in the works of thinkers such as Rousseau and Montaigne. The essays are organized into three main themes: Manners, Morals, and Taste. The author explores how our ideas about virtue have changed in recent years, particularly our concept of fame. He also discusses the themes of simplicity, taste, and authenticity, and offers a witty, thoughtful, and profound collection of essays that will entertain and provoke readers.
