Letter in English with printed letterhead 'De Zonheuvel, Doorn.', signed 'Maarten Maartens', heavily underscored. 4 p. 17.7 x 11.2 cm. 17 lines. Pin holes where a visiting card may have been pinned to the letter. The letter exhibits amazement of a book that was sent by publisher Funk & Wagnalls to Josua van der Poorten Schwartz (1858-1915), better known as novelist Maarten Maartens: 'On my return, this day, from a prolonged absence abroad, I find the book you have kindly sent me. I stand before it, spellbound, as I once stood before the Great Pyramid'. This is probably about the first edition of Funk & Wagnalls Standard Encyclopedia. There are more quaintly reverent sentences in the letter: 'Your book looks a large one. But the moment we realize in it the Liebig of men's intellect since Adam, how compactly reasonable in size it appears!' No wonder the clerk at Funk & Wagnalls wrote in pencil: 'Please make 3 copies for Prof Hopkins', possibly to use citations for advertising. Not in The Letters of Maarten Maartens.
