Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Bookmen Sketches, Chiefly Biographical, of Certain Writers of the Nineteenth Century The more clearly a book speaks for itself, the less it needs a preface. It is the writer´s hope, therefore, that his readers will discover, without recourse to these few words, what he has tried to do. They are intended rather to give to those who would be saved the trouble of reading, fair warning that he has not attempted to throw entirely new light upon themes already thrice familiar, or to deliver himself in terms of ultimate criticism. His purpose has been to bring together from many sources some of the more interesting facts in the lives of the men with whom he has been concerned, and in the spirit of Montaigne, interpreted in Florio´s version of his opening words, "Loe here a well-meaning book," to present these facts primarily as a narrator, incidentally as a critic.
