This is an interesting old book about personalities. The book was published in 1910 by L.C. Page & Company, Boston, Massachusetts. The book measures 5 ¼ inches by 7 ¾ inches and contains ix, 375 pages. The brown cloth cover has a decorative embossed finish with the title on the front and down the spine in gilt. The top edges of the pages are gilt. The cover shows minor signs of wear, hardly worth mentioning. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips or foxing. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this old book is very good.

Excerpt - Preface:
There was never a time, perhaps, bigger with spiritual promise than the present, nor more strenuously eager to liberate the human spirit for its next step forward in the arduous and inspiring journey toward perfection and happiness. The cause enlists the best work of the best workers against just such odds as have always confronted radical effort, but with less stubborn resistance than in duller days.

…

The first chapter indicates, as clearly as I can make it, the scope and purpose of the volume and its underlying ideal of education and personal culture. While the book does not attempt to make any systematic presentation of a philosophy (a task to which I am unequal), it will be found to indicate everywhere a triune ideal of normal well-being and happiness, and to be based upon a definite conception of symmetrical life and growth,- a conception which attributes to aspiration, effort, and education equal and coherent values.

The paths of mental and spiritual training are well marked, and physical education itself is growing rapidly in popularity and efficiency, but the work of relating the three in any coordinate personal culture has as yet hardly been recognized as a desirability. Such work at tis best cannot be merely a profession, it is essentially a most subtle and comprehensive art,-the art of appreciating, interpreting, and educating personality.

This triunistic or Unitarian philosophy, as I find myself calling it to avoid a confusing use of the word Trinitarian, lends itself most simply and practically as a standard of discrimination and a guide in self culture.
