Holzberger Since the first selection of George Santayana's  letters was published in 1955, shortly after his death,  many more letters have been located. The Works of George  Santayana, Volume V, brings together a total of 3,081  letters. The volume is divided chronologically into eight  books of roughly comparable length. Book One covers the  longest period of time, in effect spanning Santayana's  correspondence from the 1880s through most of the first  decade of the twentieth century. It illuminates Santayana's  life from the age of nineteen until well into his middle  years, when he had established his professional career as a  full professor at Harvard.In his introduction, William  Holzberger summarizes their significance as follows: "We  find in Santayana's letters not only a distillation of his  philosophy but also a multitude of new perspectives on the  published work. The responses to his correspondents are  filled with spontaneous comments on and restatements of his  fundamental philosophical ideas and principles. Because  Santayana's philosophy was not for him a thing apart, but  rather the foundation of his existence, the letters  indicate the ways in which his entire life was permeated  and directed by that philosophy."},
