"Little Essays" dummies, 1920
Scope and Contents
Five separate "dummy" books made up of written drafts, clippings and pages removed from Santayana's earlier works for republication as "Little Essays" in 1921, each representing on of the five parts of the book: I. On Human Nature; II. On Religion; III. On Art & Poetry; IV. On Poets and Philosophers; and V. On Materialism and Morals. The books of Santayana from which material was removed, presumably to construct these, are housed in box 18.
