The Breakfast-Table Series is a collection of three books written by Oliver Wendell Holmes. The first book, The Autocrat Of The Breakfast-Table, is a series of essays that were originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1857. The essays are written from the perspective of a witty and opinionated narrator who holds court at the breakfast table and shares his thoughts on a variety of topics, from love and friendship to politics and religion.The second book, The Professor At The Breakfast-Table, was published in 1860 and continues the same format as the first book. The narrator is now a retired professor who shares his observations on life and society with his fellow diners.The Poet At The Breakfast-Table, published in 1872, is the final book in the series. The narrator is now a poet who shares his musings on life, love, and art with his breakfast companions.Throughout the series, Holmes uses his sharp wit and keen observations to comment on the world around him. He covers a wide range of topics, from the mundane to the profound, and his essays are filled with humor, insight, and wisdom. The Breakfast-Table Series is a classic of American literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the art of the essay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
