Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Common-Place Book of Prose: A Collection of Eloquent and Interesting Extracts From the Writings of American Authors Books of common-place are the amusements of literature. It is pleasant to have at one´s side a well-selected volume, to which he may turn for mental recreation, when the fatigue of preceding exertion has rendered him unequal to intellectual effort. It is pleasant, also, to have before us the eloquent passages of our favourite authors, so that we may occasionally awaken and prolong the delightful sensations with which we at first perused them. But the mere power of conferring amusement is not that, which gives to publications of this sort their highest value. To all those, whose constant occupation precludes the possibility of spending many leisure hours in the acquisition of literary taste and knowledge, they may be rendered eminently useful. The present volume is selected entirely from American authors, and contains specimens of American literature from its earliest period to the present day. It is hoped that it may not be found inferior in excellence or interest to any of those compilations which have hitherto embraced only the morceaux delicieuse of English genius. When we say this, it is without any feeling of national vanity or rivalry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
