Dr. Jonathan by Winston Churchill The library of ASHER PINDAR'S house in Foxon Falls, a New Englandvillage of some three thousand souls, over the destinies of whichthe Pindars for three generations have presided. It is a large, dignified room, built early in the nineteenth century, with whitedoors and gloss woodwork. At the rear of the stage, -which is thefront of the house, -are three high windows with small, square panesof glass, and embrasures into which are fitted white insideshutters. These windows reach to within a foot or so of the floor;a person walking on the lawn or the sidewalk just beyond it may beseen through them. The trees bordering the Common are also seenthrough these windows, and through a gap in the foliage a glimpse ofthe terraced steeple of the Pindar Church, the architecture of whichis of the same period as the house. Upper right, at the end of thewall, is a glass door looking out on the lawn. There is anotherdoor, lower right, and a door, lower left, leading into ASHERPINDAR'S study. A marble mantel, which holds a clock and certainornaments, is just beyond this door. The wall spaces on the rightand left are occupied by high bookcases filled with respectablevolumes in calf and dark cloth bindings. Over the mantel is anoil painting of the Bierstadt school, cherished by ASHER as aninheritance from his father, a huge landscape with a self-conscioussky, mountains, plains, rivers and waterfalls, and two small figuresof Indians-who seem to have been talking to a missionary. In thespaces between the windows are two steel engravings, "The Death ofWolfe on the Plains of Abraham" and "Washington Crossing theDelaware!" The furniture, with the exception of a few heirlooms, such as the stiff sofa, is mostly of the Richardson period of the'80s and '90s. On a table, middle rear, are neatly spread outseveral conservative magazines and periodicals, including areligious publication. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experienc
