Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Haphazard Personalities: Chiefly of Noted Americans During my protracted experiences as a merchant´s clerk in New York, a newspaper man, an author and artist, and an official, in Washington, it has been my fortune to make many good friends among the noted men of the time, and it is to a portion of these that I have devoted this volume. My object has not been to write biographies, but merely to give such interesting revelations of character as have come under my own personal observation. In doing this, I have been obliged, occasionally, to be a little autobiographic in my methods; but there seemed to be no alternative, and the reader must not question my sense of delicacy. The personal records in my possession have by no means been exhausted in the following pages, and I cannot but hope that when the proper time arrives, some additional recollections will see the light, and be as warmly welcomed by the public as my literary efforts have always been in the days that are no more.
