''A Century Of Acrostics On The Most Eminent Names In Literature, Science, And Art, Down To The Present Time'' is a book written by Charles Vaughan Grinfield and originally published in 1855. The book is a collection of acrostic poems, which are poems where the first letter of each line spells out a word or phrase. In this case, the acrostics are based on the names of famous figures in literature, science, and art, from the past up to the present day. The book is divided into sections based on the field of the person being honored, with sections for poets, novelists, scientists, painters, and more. Each section contains multiple acrostics, with each poem focusing on a different person. The book includes acrostics for well-known figures such as William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin, and Leonardo da Vinci, as well as lesser-known individuals who were prominent in their fields at the time of publication.Grinfield’s acrostics are written in a variety of poetic styles, including sonnets, ballads, and odes. The poems often include biographical information about the person being honored, as well as reflections on their contributions to their respective fields. The book is a tribute to the great minds of the past and present, and serves as a celebration of their achievements in literature, science, and art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
