See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Addressed to 'Dear Mr Paxton' and signed 'Morpeth'. Much of the letter comprises a twenty-three line quotation from a letter Morpeth has received 'from a great friend of mine in Dublin, Mr Hamilton' (After the transcription of Hamilton's letter Morpeth gives his name as 'William Tighe Hamilton Esqre [1807-1886] / Donnybrook / Dublin'. In his letter to Morpeth Hamilton boasts that he is 'a great collector of green-house and stone plants; I have now the largest Houses devoted to flowers in this country except at the Botanic Gardens'. He asks Morpeth if he could put in a word with Paxton regarding the the 'overflowings', 'chips and parings' of 'The Duke [of Devonshire]'s collection of Orchidaceous plants': 'It is only thus that humble people like myself can collect such plants, and perhaps I might be admitted to a share of the crumbs.' He ventures to ask this 'because I am a gardener, and gardeners are licensed beggars'. Morpeth would be pleased if Paxton could oblige Hamilton, but does not mean to 'ask any-thing that is indiscreet'. He ends: 'We have very variable weather here.'.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Fifteen years ago, psychologist and educator Howard Gardner introduced the idea of multiple intelligences, challenging the presumption that intelligence consists of verbal or analytic abilities only—those intelligences that schools tend to measure. He argued for a broader understanding of the intelligent mind, one that embraces creation in the arts and music, spatial reasoning, and the ability to understand ourselves and others.Today, Gardner's ideas have become widely accepted—indeed, they have changed how we think about intelligence, genius, creativity, and even leadership, and he is widely regarded as one of the most important voices writing on these subjects.Now, in "Extraordinary Minds," a book as riveting as it is new, Gardner poses an important question: Is there a set of traits shared by all truly great achievers—those we deem extraordinary—no matter their field or the time period within which they did their important work?In an attempt to answer this question, Gardner first examines how most of us mature into more or less competent adults. He then examines closely four persons who lived unquestionably extraordinary lives—Mozart, Freud, Woolf, and Gandhi—using each as an exemplar of a different kind of extraordinariness: Mozart as the master of a discipline, Freud as the innovative founder of a new discipline, Woolf as the great introspector, and Gandhi as the influencer.What can we learn about ourselves from the experiences of the extraordinary? Interestingly, Gardner finds that an excess of raw power is not the most impressive characteristic shared by superachievers; rather, these extraordinary individuals all have had a special talent for identifying their own strengths and weaknesses, for accurately analyzing the events of their own lives, and for converting into future successes those inevitable setbacks that mark every life.Gardner provides answers to a number of provocative questions, among them: How do we explain extraordinary times—Athens in the fifth century B.C., the T'ang Dynasty in the eighth century, Islamic Society in the late Middle Ages, and New York at the middle of the century? What is the relation among genius, creativity, fame, success, and moral extraordinariness? Does extraordinariness make for a happier, more fulfilling life, or does it simply create a special onus? "One of America's most interesting psychologists"("New York Times")—the man who changed forever our understanding of intelligence, creativity, and leadership with "Frames of Mind, Creating Minds" and "Leading Minds"—now sheds light on the topic of extraordinariness.
