Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Howard Payne, Dramatist, Poet, Actor, and Author of Home Sweet Home: His Life and Writings In 1875, almost immediately after the "Faust Club" of Brooklyn, Long Island, had erected the monument to the author of "Home, Sweet Home," in Prospect Park, I wrote "The Life and Writings of John Howard Payne." For over twenty years I had been gathering everything that in any way related to Mr. Payne´s life. I looked through old files of the New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore newspapers, the chief places which Mr. Payne when a boy, "the young American Roscius," had visited. I then sent to London for monthly magazines that contained records of the stage, running back as far as 1813, that I might follow authoritatively and accurately the career of Mr. Payne while a resident of London for twenty years. I also possessed myself of Payne´s first publication, a little pamphlet entitled "Juvenile Poems, Principally Written between the Age of Thirteen and Seventeen Years. Baltimore, 1813." Then I obtained a copy of another pamphlet entitled "Lispings of the Muse," published by Payne himself while in London, 1815, printed, as he stated, "In testimony of regard from the author to his personal friends," - a republication of the Baltimore edition, 1813. Following these, there came into my hands a complete copy of the valuable little paper of which he was the publisher when only fourteen years of age, known as "The Thespian Mirror," New York, 1805 ;also a copy of an octavo volume of a hundred pages, to which was prefixed a stippled head of Mr. Payne in the character of Hamlet and entitled "Memoirs of John Howard Payne, the American Roscius, with Criticisms on his Acting in the Theatres of America, England, and Ireland. Compiled from Authentic Documents. London, 1815." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
