Book Size of Pilate's Magician

Due to some confusion on the size of the paperback size of Pilate's Magician, that version is going to be held until a new version is available.

The ebook version, however, is available right now and will continue to be so.

Bear with me.

From the Letters of Lord Chesterfield

 

To know mankind well, requires full as much attention and application as to know books, and, it may be, more sagacity and discernment. I am, at this time, acquainted with many elderly people, who have all passed their whole lives in the great world, but with such levity and inattention, that they know no more of it now, than they did at fifteen. Do not flatter yourself, therefore, with the thought that you can acquire this knowledge in the frivolous chit-chat of idle companions; no, you must go much deeper than that. You must look into people, as well as at them. Almost all people are born with all the passions, to a certain degree; but almost every man has a prevailing one, to which the others are subordinate. Search every one for that ruling passion; pry into the recesses of his heart, and observe the different workings of the same passion in different people; and when you have found out the prevailing passion of any man, remember never to trust him where that passion is concerned. Work upon him by it, if you please; but be upon your guard yourself against it, whatever professions he may make you.

- From the letter of Lord Chesterfield to his son, October 4, 1746

[Samuel Johnson, an enemy, said that Chesterfield's letters reflect "the morals of a whore and the manners of a dancing-master."]
