CO I GIFT OF ROOSEVELT LOVER OF BOOKS "THE JOY OF LIVING IS HIS WHO HAS TH HEART TO DEMAND IT." SYRACUSE PUBLIC LIBRARY A 1920 SORT OF A PREFACE The Elizabethans had a word "virtu" which expressed for them the full ness of living. To be called this, men like Sir Philip Sidney and Fulke Greville, maturing young, lived full lives in all the ways men aspire. They were alike great warriors, great statesmen, great poets, great gentlemen. Such a man of "virtu" has lived in our own age. Theodore Roosevelt had all the attributes which the word connotes. It is one of the sides of this many- sided man which we try to show here : Roosevelt, lover of books. Roosevelt not only loved good books everywhere, but he was also an inspiration and a generous critic of authors. In answer to a note accom panying the gift of a copy of "Hillsboro in the W T ar," by Riohard D; Ware, Roosevelt writes : "My dear Mr. Ware : That s mighty nice of you. I look forward to receiving the book. You are more than kind. Faithfully yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. P. S. The book has come. Three cheers! I loved it. At the Store, The Phrasemakers I like them all !" That is the kind of thing he was always doing. We have not attempted a complete bibliography of the works of Theodore Roosevelt, but have in cluded only the books in the Syracuse Public Library that he wrote. While it has been our aim to list all the books and authors Roosevelt mentioned in these books and to chQGS\fo notations expressing his opinion, it may be that we have made omissions and chosen ui. wisely. If this is so, still we shall not have failed to give/JcC Otlrers.a.. sr.iall view-of Theodore Roosevelt as a book- lover, that they may take tlfe same deliglif in him that we have felt, that they may see him a wide reader who knew the "unalloyed delight to take up some really good, some really enthralling book and lose all memory of everything grimy, and of the baseness that must be parried or conquered".
