Autograph Quotation Signed ("Lew. Wallace"), 1 p, 12mo, Crawfordville, IN, November 24, 1888, being a quote on God and man from Ben Hur, mounting remnants to verso.
In full: "If I were called upon to Symbolize God and man in the simplest form, I would draw a straight line and a circle; and of the line I would say, 'This is God, for he alone moves forever straightforward,' and of the circle, 'This is man—such is his progress.'"
