Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Edward Earle Purinton (April 24, 1878 – July 10, 1943) was an American businessman, naturopath, philosopher and self-help writer. Purinton was born in Morgantown, West Virginia. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts from Denison University in June 1899 and was an instructor in Greek at the Doane Academy (1899–1900).[2] His father was Daniel Boardman Purinton, a former President of Denison University.[3] Purinton wrote articles on business and personal efficiency for The Independent magazine. He was Director of The Independent's Efficiency Service.[4] Purinton was dean of the American Efficiency Foundation and wrote about the virtues of American business practices.[5][6] He was a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science and President of the National Efficiency League of New York City.[7] Purinton was a naturopath.[8][9] In 1902, Purinton edited Benedict Lust's The Naturopath and Herald of Health.[9] He was a notable advocate of fasting, authoring The Philosophy of Fasting in 1915.[10] He labelled his system of fasting the "Conquest Fast" and described it as "a combination of the early Church Fast with the modern Therapeutic Fast."[11] His views on fasting influenced Wincenty Lutosławski.[8] Purinton recommended fasting for spiritual well-being and virtue.[12] Purinton died at Chattahoochee, Florida.
