Excerpt from More Joy, Vol. 3 The author felt constrained to put all this to good use, to return greetings, to correct blunders, to comply with requests. Thus a new edition has come into existence; and now, bearing the device Fifty-fourth Thousand, the Little Book begins its second voyage around the world. It is going to tap gently at the door of Old friends, to greet them in the author's name and to thank them. Perhaps it is also going to enroll new friends in the crusade of joy. In behalf of this crusade, we may properly enough here set down one or two wholly imper sonal Observations suggested by many kind, and a few unsympathetic, criticisms.

The emotions have long been an interest for those studying ancient Greece and Rome. But while the last few decades have produced excellent studies of individual emotions and the different approaches to them by the major philosophical schools, the focus has been almost entirely on negative emotions. This might give the impression that the Greeks and Romans had little to say about positive emotion, something that would be misguided. As the chapters in this collection indicate, there are representations of positive emotions extending from archaic Greek poetry to Augustine, and in both philosophical works and literary genres as wide-ranging as lyric poetry, forensic oratory, comedy, didactic poetry, and the novel. Nor is the evidence uniform: while many of the literary representations give expression to positive emotion but also describe its loss, the philosophers offer a more optimistic assessment of the possibilities of attaining joy or contentment in this life. The positive emotions show some of the same features that all emotions do. But unlike the negative emotions, which we are able to describe and analyze in great detail because of our preoccupation with them, positive emotions tend to be harder to articulate. Hence the interest of the present study, which considers how positive emotions are described, their relationship to other emotions, the ways in which they are provoked or upset by circumstances, how they complicate and enrich our relationships with other people, and which kinds of positive emotion we should seek to integrate. The ancient works have a great deal to say about all of these topics, and for that reason deserve more study, both for our understanding of antiquity and for our understanding of the positive emotions in general.

Excerpt from Myra Gray, or Sown in Tears, Reaped in Joy, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel I doubted for a moment, and in this prae tical mammon-worshipping world no one should doubt longer, to what epoch to take my reader; how far back it would be desirable or easy to carry him - or her. I say easy, because there is a constraint in placing before the audience forms dressed in antique garb and disguising thought in obsolete language; in endeavouring to represent that as stamped with the impres sion of the mind, which is but a hardly-sustained effort of imagination or memory. Hail to the masters of this art! They be but few, and it is dangerous to attempt to follow them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Myra Gray; Or Sown in Tears, Reaped in Joy, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel We must go back a few days - a week or two, perhaps. Not, indeed, into some indefinite space which has been left behind, and which the reader has already had time to forget, but simply to that period when Gilbert Ferrers was in the eyes of the world, if not in the eyes of his wife, an honest man. There had been whispers, it is true; but there always will be whispers when Parvenu has pictures, and carriages, and the best still champagne; when he is indifferent to his wife and his home, and prefers truffles and petits soupers to the domestic veal, however well served.

Excerpt from Cumorah's Southern Cross, Vol. 3: July, 1929 Every man who pays his tithing should enjoy it. The Gospel of Christ is a gospel of enjoyment. Man is that he may have joy. When one pays his tithing without enjoyment he is robbed of a part of the blessing. He must learn t) give cheerfully, willingly and joy fully, and his gift will be blessed. In order that he may receive more enjoyment he needs to pay more frequently. Why deprive oneself of the joy that comes from this voluntary giving until the end of the year, when by payments throughout the year we may in crease and enhance not only the joy of our giving but the practice of it.

Excerpt from Myra Gray; Or Sown in Tears, Reaped in Joy, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Knew her aunt only by name, and Lady Honoria and her sister had only been as kind to her as they had been to the pointers, who were allowed to come in and be patted on certain days, or have a lavish mess served up to them in the kitchen, as the fancy urged them. They never do feed dogs in the kennel in Ireland, you know. The friend who had been unvarying in his affection till she left him to be finished, was dead; and the man who used to ride with her, ' and was now her sort of guardian, had taken to writing judicious letters. I believe Myra Gray had every virtue but judgment, and she was not likely to become a violent admirer of it in others when it opposed her own wishes.
