Excerpt from The Story of Chautauqua An ancient writer - I forget his name - declared that in one of the city-states of Greece there was the rule that when any citizen proposed a new law or the repeal of an old one, he should come to the popular assembly with a rope around his neck, and if his proposition failed of adoption, he was to be immediately hanged. It is said that amendments to the constitution of that state were rarely presented, and the people managed to live under a few time-honored laws. It is possible that some such drastic treatment may yet be meted out to authors - and perhaps to publishers - as a last resort to check the flood of useless literature. To anticipate this impending constitutional amendment, it is incumbent upon every writer of a book to show that his work is needed by the world, and this I propose to do in these prefatory pages. Is Chautauqua great enough, original enough, sufficiently beneficial to the world to have its history written?

Excerpt from The Natural History of Chautauqua The material in this little book is the outgrowth of ten years natural history study and teaching in the Chautauqua region. The material is assembled in this form with the hope that it may be useful to the increasing number of nature-students who are actively interested in the rich and beautiful natural background of Chautauqua. The subject-matter is not designed to take the place of that found in the standard reference books; it is suggestive rather than scientifically exhaustive. In the various lists, for example, only the common and fairly common forms are usually included; rare and adventitious species, although often of extreme scientific interest, are not of particular significance to the beginner in natural history. It is significant that natural history has always been an integral part of the Chautauqua ideal. Wherever people may live, - amidst or far remote from the centers of culture, - Nature is omnipresent as the universal background of their lives. Natural history is the most cosmopolitan of the cultural elements; it is not nationalized, like literature, nor racial, like the languages, nor sectarianized, as is theology, nor provincialized, as is history. The natural history of any locality, no matter how apparently mediocre and humble, is a clean-cut epitome of the outstanding laws of the universe. This book is based upon the fundamental proposition of the nature-study idea, namely, that happiness may be derived from an intimate and sympathetic knowledge of the common things of our out-of-doors.

Excerpt from The Chautauqua Movement This book has been prepared in the midst of arduous official labors, and nothing but the writer's interest in the cause it represents could have induces him to attempt the task now completed. The author has of necessity made use of some material already published in "The Chautauquan," and presented in lectures and addresses in all parts of the country. To such reproductions much new matter has been added; and it is hoped that the book will give to many persons who know little or nothing about Chautauqua, and to those who may have been prejudiced against it, the true view of its aims and plans, and thus secure to the cause new and firm friends, and increase its power for good. It is the author's purpose (or at least his hope), at some future time to publish a volume of "Chautauqua Memorials," with detailed programmes of what was clone at every Assembly, and with the memoranda of things proposed from time to time, never yet accomplished. Such a compilation will make a souvenir for Chautauquans. Concerning the author's personal relations to the beginning and to the development of the Chautauqua enterprise, he has said but little in this volume content and grateful to have been permitted, by a gracious Providence, to engage in the good cause with the worthy workers who have helped to found and to build it up. Some kind words on this subject by Mr. Miller, in his Introduction, the author has taken the liberty to suppress. The book is now committed to the "hosts of Chautauqua" and to "the outside world," in the humble hope that it may help to advance the noble cause which aims to lift and broaden and in manifold ways to bless humanity.
