Beginning in 1901, Paul Elder compiled and published a series of booklets of aphorisms, each with a separate theme. The five booklets were Friendship, Love, Happiness, Nature and Success. They apparently were fairly successful, because in 1906 Elder republished the five texts as a single volume entitled Mosaic Essays. The cover and title page artwork is by Santa Barbara artist Robert Wilson Hyde.
