    About this ebook

    "Right Living as a Fine Art: A Study of Channing's Symphony as an Outline of the Ideal Life and Character" by Newell Dwight Hillis
    William Henry Channing was an American Unitarian clergyman, writer and philosopher. His poem "My Symphony" speaks of enjoyment rather than having or doing things for the sake of it - or for what others think. It's a great source of inspiration which Hills analyzes in this text.
