The Library of Horace H. Bradley I never met a man in whom I failed to recognize some quality superior to myself; if he was older, I said he has done more good than I; if he was younger, I said he has sinned less; if richer, I said he has given more to charity; if poorer, I said he has suffered more; if wiser, I paid honor to his wisdom; if not wiser, I judged his faults less severely. Take this to heart, my son.\fn{Judah ben Jehiel Asher (1250-1327), from his Testament} * This library catalog is composed of 10 sub-sections: 1. An alphabetical list of the names of the authors who wrote the contents of the libraries’ 98 Anthologies forms the first sub-catalogue in this general collection (pp. 3-55). 2. The second is an organization of the books dealing with a progressive discussion of the cultural legacy inherited by modern man from his most ancient beginnings (the Archaic world) through the Medieval period and into the Renaissance transition evolving into the nation-states of contemporary Europe—archaic/medieval/renaissance/modern Europe, abbreviated A.M.R.M.E. on the spine labels (pp. 55-77): 1. The Archaic World 2. The Medieval World 3. The Renaissance World 4. The Modern World, subdivided into: (a) The Reformation; (b) The Age of Reason Begins; (c) The Age of Louis XIV; (d) The Age of Voltaire; (e) Rousseau and Revolution; (f) Napoleon; (g) French Literature of the 19th Century; (h) World War I and World War II; (i) The New Age of Sorrowful Uncertainty and Isolated Hope 3. The third collection deals more narrowly with North America (pp. 78-123). 4. The fourth sub-catalogue a section devoted to authors from The United Kingdom (pp. 124-143). 5. The fifth group concerns itself with Latin America (Mexico, Central America, the island nations of the Caribbean Sea, and South America (pp. 143-150). 6. From the Western Hemisphere the collection transitions to those authors born in Africa (pp. 150-161). 7. Africa passes to the literary output of Asia (pp. 162-198). 8. There is a small collection of authors born in territorial Dependencies of independent countries (defined as 1 permanently inhabited remnants of former colonial empires, pp. 198-201). 9. A large sub-catalogue is then taken up with books concerned with Religion (pp. 201-218, ouatlined below): A. Books sacred (or related) to religions other than Christianity: Shintoism Islam Buddhism Confucianism Taoism Jainism Sikhism The Bahá’i Faith Hinduism B. Christianity (1) Orthodox Scripture The term “Orthodox” is used here in its broadest sense to mean the evolution of the main stream of Christian thought and practice from the first century to the present day (2018), including its Oriental Orthodox, Orthodox-Defined-As-Such (Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, etc.), and Protestant developments—in short, all those congregations whose textual allegiance to the Word of God consists of the same number of books compiled in what is commonly understood by the term “New Testament.” (I include the Ethiopian Orthodox Church within this confession.) At the end of this unit will be found a “B. Non-Orthodox Scripture and Writings” section which deals with the non-orthodox remains of the first millennia of the Christian Era:H (a) Orthodox Reference materials: dictionary, commentary, concordance, handbook, catechism and hymnal (b) Orthodox Religious history (c) Confrontation and Renewal in the Orthodox Community Today (d) Books appertaining to the Unreformed Church (Roman Catholic) (e) Protestant publications (f) Items about Christian Saints (2) Non-Orthodox Scripture and Writings (C) Judaism and Jewish Authors (D) Philosophy/Psychology (E) World Religion 10. Finally there are the contents of the General Reference sub-catalogue (also outlined below, pp. 218-231): 1. Single Volumes Dictionaries of Language (English) Dictionaries of Language (Non-English) Dictionaries of Quotations Dictionaries of Synonyms, Antonyms and Prepositions Dictionaries of Phrases and Toasts Almanacs One-volume Encyclopædias Types of Atlases A High School and a Medical School Yearbook of the 1920s Sourcebooks (Women, Men, Birds, Religious Goods, Carpets, Garden Landscapes, Traditional Pictorial Art and more specifically with Europe, China and the United States) 2. Sets 2 Schaff-Herzog Ante-Nicene and Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Encyclopædia Britannica 3. Magazines in Book Format American Heritage Horizon 4. Newspapers 5. Manuscripts Notes: Prose and poetry identified as having been written by “Anonymous” are not listed in this collection. * Works containing the efforts of multiple authors, except for occasional entries where individual contributions under the same name may be clearly identified, are not listed in this collection. The classic example of this is Earl Stanley Gardner, a fictitious creation of several authors over many years, but whose personal contributions are clearly identifiable * Pseudonyms are referenced from “see under” notes in brackets [e.g., “Clemens, Samuel Langhorn (see under Twain, Mark)”]. * Plays are identified with an asterisk: * * Abbreviations: c., about; con., conceived; cre., created; d., died; fl., flourished., sel., selected by; trns., translated by; int., introduction by; ann., annotations by; comp., compiled by; fwd., forward by; abrg., abridged by. * The symbol HS identifies books purchased by Henry Schurr in order to complete The Protocol for World Peace: the Prototype (begun and completed between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2017). * A tiny heart, ♥ , indicates United Kingdom entries with particular relevance to Christmas Island. * Where the place of birth is either India or Bangladesh, but a more exact identity seems impossible, the country of birth is listed as British India, which for some time included both. * The century of an author’s birth is noted (when it can be verified) in the absence of more specific vital statistics. * In the case of Anthology 73, no intensive attempt has been made to identify the authors with either North or South Korea, the identity Korea being used in all cases not otherwise differentiated by entries from other anthologies, or where such identification was easily obtainable through a simple biographical search of the author on the Internet. * In the case of Anthology 74, the editor has chosen to present narrative segments of documents as illustrative of statements made in a pre-planned study of her own design, as opposed to printing a collection of complete documents themselves. Her production is at once a systematic study and an anthology; but she made use of only those parts of her collection of narratives which illustrated the conclusions on any point which she wished to substantiate. We have here to do with incomplete narrative presentations, and so, for what it is worth, these narrative fragments class her study as an anthology, but in the absence of complete documentation, no attempt has been made to record the separate authors which she has used. * For convenience all Korean monks who have been accorded the status of “Master” in the collection(s) in which they are so described are grouped together under that title. 3 1.
