520			_a"A Letter Book" by George Saintsbury is a collection of selected letters with an accompanying introduction focused on the history and art of letter-writing, written in the early 20th century. The work explores the significance of letters as a form of literature, documenting various styles and important figures from ancient to modern times. It aims to illustrate the craftsmanship behind effective letter-writing rather than simply adhere to rules or instructions. The opening of the book includes a detailed preface where the author discusses the genesis of this collection, acknowledging the wealth of literature surrounding the art of letter-writing that has influenced his selections. Saintsbury emphasizes the importance of genuine expression in letters, outlining the evolution and cultural significance of correspondence throughout history, particularly in shaping social relations and personal communication. Moreover, he references key figures and texts that have contributed to the understanding of epistolary form, setting the stage for the letters that will follow in subsequent chapters.
