Roycroft

He is a true Fabian.

He does what he can, like the royal Roycroft opportunist that he is.

Every petty annoyance is passed over.

The jibes and jeers and the ingratitude of his own race are forgotten.

There is no devil but fear.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

So here endeth Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Teachers, being Volume 10 of the series, as written by Elbert Hubbard, edited and arranged by Fred Ban, borders and initials by Roycroft artists, and produced by the Roycrofters at their shops, which are in East Aurora, Erie County, New York, 1922.

End of Chapter 12, Part 2.

I approached him and explained that I was a poor worker in the glass factory who had to work all day and half the night, and as I lived over in the city and my wife was dying, I must get home.

Would he allow me to ride with his highness? certainly with pleasure with pleasure he answered and then pulling something from under his sash he said is this your cap seor i took my cap but my tongue was paralyzed for the moment so i could not thank him the wind had died down the rain had ceased and from between the blue-black clouds the moon shone out john rode with a strong fine stroke singing a te deum lordamus softly to himself the while i lay there and wept thinking of my boat my all my precious boat we reached the landing and there was my boat safely tied up not a cushion not a cord missing john bellini he may be a rogue as pascal salvini says god knows how can i tell i am only a poor gondolier So here, then, endeth the volume entitled The Mintage, the same being ten stories and one more, written by Albert Hubbard, the whole done into a printed book by the Roycrofters at their shop, which is in the village of East Aurora, Erie County, New York State, this year of Grace, M.C.M.X., and from the founding of the Roycroft shop, the 16th.

End of the Master and the End of the Mintage by Albert Hubbard

Hey guys, Lady Luck here.

Besides, who was there to take up his pen? It was also a beautiful tribute to the father from the son.

The same spirit of devotion has prompted the Roycrofters to issue their memorial edition of the little journeys to the homes of the great.

In no other way could they so fittingly perpetuate the memory of the founder of their institution as to liberate the influence that was such an important factor in molding the career of his genius.

If he should cast a backward glance, he would nod his approval.

Men who made things for the king.

So a Roycrofter is a person who makes beautiful things and makes them as well as he can.

The Roycrofters is the legal name of our institution.

It is a corporation, and the shares are distributed among the workers.

I will make the poems of materials, for I think they are to be the most spiritual poems, and I will make the poems of my body and mortality.

Done into prints by the Roycrofters at the shop which is in East Aurora, New York, A.D. 1904.

At the last tenderly, from the walls of the powerful fortress'd house, From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors, Let me be wafted, let me glide noiselessly forth, with the key of softness, Unlock the locks with a whisper, set ope the doors, O soul, Tenderly, be not impatient, Strong is your hold, O mortal flesh, strong is your hold, O love.

End of Front Matter.

So here endeth the Song of Myself as written by Walt Whitman done into print.

This is no book who touches this touches a man.

By the Roycrofters at their shop which is in East Aurora Erie County New York USA completed in February Anno Domini nineteen hundred and four.

End of Song of Myself by Walt Whitman.

My father has been my teacher, and I do not at all envy the college man.

For the last twenty years, I have been working in the Roycroft shops.

I believe I am well-grounded in business, also in work.

When I was twelve years old, my father transferred Alibaba to the garden, and I did the chores around the house and barn for a dollar a week.

Again, I was promoted into the private office and permitted to sign my name under my father's on checks.

Then the responsibility of purchasing materials was given me.

One time or another, I have worked in every department of the Roycroft shops.

My association with Elbert Hubbard has been friendly, brotherly.

This is Mason Winfield again with another episode of SciFriday with Mason.

You know, we're at our favorite place, our home away from home, the Roycroft Inn in East Aurora.

And it's a place that's got a lot of mysticism, a lot of occultism, spiritualism, ghost stories.

It's a very intriguing place.

Local seal laws and ordinances allow municipalities to legally protect their official crest logo or corporate insignia from unauthorized commercial use, forgery, or deceptive political endorsement.

Noted East Aurora artist Ricksford Jennings designed the East Aurora Village seal in the early 1970s, incorporating various elements of village history, including a trotting horse and the original Roycroft logo.

The August 17th meeting was led by Deputy Mayor and Trustee Chelsea Root.

Mayor Luke Wojcicki and Trustee Grace Vigger were each absent.

Uh, he became a metal worker in 1912 at the Roycroft community in, uh, Au- Aurora, New York.

It was a community of metal smiths, woodworks, woodworkers, uh, printers, and artisans.

Yeah.

To Raymond H. Lufkin of Boston, who made the illustrations for this volume scientifically accurate.

To the Roycrofters of East Aurora, whose artistic workmanship made it into a thing of beauty.

And last but not least, to Sarah H.

And this guy who was sort of a utopian developed this whole brand new arts movement.

And it was called, well, Arts and Crafts Movement, the Roycroft Movement.

Stickley was also part of this.

And they have a campus there with all this amazing stuff.

Okay, so there's all that.

That all happened there.

You can go visit Roycroft.

That alone is a reason to go to East Aurora.
