The Commonplace Book of Joshua Humphreys, Volumes I, II, & III.

The Commonplace Book of Joshua Humphreys, Volumes I, II, & III. The 3 volumes of The Commonplace Book of Joshua Humphreys contain 10 years of reading distilled into 900 pages of only the best that has ever been written, said, or done...

With 4000 quotations from 850 different writers, poets, philosophers, playwrights, painters, saints, sinners, scientists, generals, geniuses, adventurers, explorers, kings, comedians, & composers—they explore 700 separate subjects while raising & answering all of humanity's most profound questions.

With over 200 images—of paintings, tombs, inscriptions, maps—with epigraphs & epitaphs—with poems & odes—with declarations and decalogues—with essays & letters—and with the best bits from 20 Shakespeare plays—The Commonplace Books are genuinely priceless, and are not available to the general public.
But they ARE the exclusive privilege of members of The New Cavalier Reading Society.

Would you care to adventure through 3000 years of culture? To discuss humanity’s most profound questions with a whole society of cavaliers? To have a novelist as your tutor?
And, as seen above, to own 3 rare & priceless books—read, collected, edited, refined, and indexed over an entire decade of literary work and travel?

Early enrolments for The 2020 New Cavalier Reading Society open this weekend...
