When I was a child I was wont to bore my mother. Now we bore each other.\" That this was primarily intended to shock our friend's devotional sensibilities I do not doubt, but I imagine it contained some small truth all the same. I think he rather shrank from personalities, resolutely refusing even to be photographed, hating that process with an unexampled vehemence strange in one so modern and so versed in mechanical and chemical science. \"I!\" he would rage. \"What have I done to merit portraiture? Have I builded a city, or painted a masterpiece, or served my country, or composed an iliad?\" Again, \"Better a single faulty human effort than the most perfect photograph ever developed.\" Scanty indeed, therefore, did I find the materials with which to fashion an introduction to this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William McFee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1546647600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781546647607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.28d","brand":"William McFee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065699578111,"sku":"9781546647607","price":9.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0c0d053-f764-4157-990a-f73e20ecf256.jpg?v=1768676670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-ocean-tramp-william-mcfee-9781546647607","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
