Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authors at Home: Personal and Bioraphical Sketches of Well-Known American Writers Ago, of Dr. Bigelow, a well-known name in Boston, and made it his own. It is one of a block, and is of red brick, four windows (and perhaps thirty feet) wide, and four tall stories in height, with a story of dormers above that. The classic door way of white marble, solidly built, after the honest fashion of its time, is but a small detail after all in such an amplitude of facade, and melts easily into place as part of a genial whole. The quarter, its sidewalks and all, is chiefly of old red brick, tempered with the green of grass-plots, shrubs, and climbing vines. It has a pervading air of anti quity, and it quaintly suggests a bit of Chester or Coventry. The neighbors are, on the one hand, Charles Francis Adams; on the other, Bancroft, son of the historian; while, diagonally across the way, is a lady who is, by popular rumor, the richest woman in New England. The rooms of the house take a pleasing irregularity from the partial curvature of the walls, front and rear. They are all spacious, above-stairs as well as below. The hall bedroom, of modern progress, was hardly invented in its time. A platform and steps at one side of the hall, on entering (they clear a small alley to the rear) have a sort of altar like aspect. The owner or his books might some time be apotheosized there, at need, amid candles and flowers. Aldrich has been fortunate in his marriage as in so many other ways. His family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life of Great Authors The author of these sketches desires to say that they were written, not for the special student of literary biography, who is already familiar with the facts here given, but rather for those busy people who have little time for reading, yet wish to know something of the private life and personal history of their favorite authors. The sketches are not intended to be critical, or to present anything like complete biographies. They are devoted chiefly to the home life of the various authors, -which, though an instructive and fascinating study, seems commonly neglected in popular biographies. It should be added that a few of these sketches have already appeared in print, but they have been rewritten to adapt them to their present purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences and Sketches The suggestion of this volume came from two students of former years who have attained dis tinction in letters. If the approbation Of Old friends in whose judgment and good taste one has confidence is endorsed by acceptance on the part Of the first publisher to whom the material is submitted, and a fair Offer is made, it is ex cusable perhaps to yield to a secretly cherished wish and bring Old papers out again from their dusty retirement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pen Pictures of Modern Authors These are not biographies that are collected here, but a series of sketches, anecdotes, and personal reminiscences relating to the more modern authors - that is, the authors who are now living, or who have died very recently and whose work belongs to the present half of the century. As the book is a compilation, the editor has occasionally been hampered by want of available material, and if the reader misses any face which he would like to have seen in a gallery of this sort, he will understand that it is because no satisfactory "pen picture" could be found.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Remarkable People, Chiefly From Personal Recollection: With Miscellaneous Papers and Poems So far the production; and now a word as to the publication. Accustomed to hearing readers of taste, and critics of acknowledged acumen, say of many of the prose papers as well as poems that they ought not to be lost sight of, but collected and published in a volume, this was at last resolved upon, and announcements of it made as far back as 1866 but from domestic suffering and other causes the issue was delayed Meanwhile other works of a somewhat similar bearing, by various writers, were published, yet in no way connected with or superseding this, which during the year 1871 was in part issued as a serial, under the title of Morning Studies and Evening Pastimes, with a result suggesting its te-issue in a more complete and solid form; and, though again sadly delayed, it i's at last sent forth, not without a hope that it may meet with such welcome as will justify its being followed, ere long, by another, touching however on different though kindred themes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and Studies It is perhaps right to say, that while this biography is so far sanctioned by General Pierce, as it comprises a generally correct narrative of the principal events of his life, the author does not understand him as thereby nec essarily indorsing all the sentiments put forth by him self in the progress of the work. These are the author's own speculations upon the facts before him, and may, or may not, be in accordance with the ideas of the individ ual whose life he writes. That individual's opinions, however, so far as it is necessary to know them, may be read, in his straightforward and consistent deeds, with more certainty than those of almost any other man now before the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Sketches At the last moment I have, quite unexpectedly, been called upon to write a Preface to the present volume. At the first glance this may appear a superfluous undertaking in presence of the fact that a biographical sketch is already in type, but my talented compiler, Mr. A. G. Thomson, Editor of Scottish Nights, assures me that I should say a word or two as a personal introduction to the work. What can I say? To fully three-fourths of those whose names appear in the, list of subscribers, at the end of this book, I am personally known - to many of them for the better part of a lifetime, and to others, more recently; hence I can hardly expect to say much that will be fresh or new to them. If authorship has its rewards, it certainly has also its penalties, and one of these is that an author, however humble he may be, is too often expected to be original. I will make no attempt to be so in this instance, but confine myself to a few plain facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
