Hamilton Wright Mabie 
My Study Fire 

My Study Fire (Second Series), which was first published in 1894, comprises a collection of essays written by the late-nineteenth century American essayist Hamilton Wright Mabie. Described as "reflective considerations of life in essay form that crystallize truths via apt sentences, digestible phrases, and suggestions" and "homelike, comfortable, engaging truths with a cozy exterior, beneath which lie close analysis, keen judgment, ethical suggestions, personal interpretations, and intimations of divinity" keen readers will find this book an invaluable addition to their library.
