A. Edward Newton Quotes


An American author, publisher, and avid book collector.
Alfred Edward Newton (1864—1940) was an American author, publisher, and avid book collector. He is best known for his book Amenities of Book Collecting (1918) which sold over 25,000 copies. At the time of his death, it was estimated that he had approximately 10,000 books in his collection, focusing on English and American literary works, the major part of which were auctioned by Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York in April, May, and October 1941. Highlights of the sale included the autograph manuscripts of Thomas Hardy's novel Far From the Madding Crowd and Charles Lamb's essay Dream Children. However, the fall in rare book prices steadily through the Great Depression meant that many sold lots brought only a fraction of prices they would have realized at the time of the Jerome Kern sale in 1929. The three volume Newton sale catalogue remains a useful reference for literature collectors.

Here are some famous quotes by A. Edward Newton.

The formula for complete happiness is to be very busy with the unimportant.

[MysteRy]

If this world affords true happiness it is to be found in a home where love and confidence increase with the years where the necessities of life come without severe strain where luxuries enter only after their cost has been carefully considered.
