Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Catalogue of Books; Or English Guide to American Literature: Giving the Full Title of Original Works Published in the United States Since the Year 1800 American Literature has become of late years so entwined with our own, as to supply us with many valuable works on subjects which we had never treated upon, improving others already in existence, and stimulating again to improvements of our own to the extreme of completion, without our knowing - certainly, without our admitting - that America is gradually repaying us for what she has hitherto drawn from our Literature. However just it may have been in years past to regard American Literature as for the most part consisting of English reprints, with an occasional original work that no one could read, it is so no longer; and our own requirements and convenience demand now as carefully-compiled catalogues of American books for the reference of buyer and seller, student and librarian, as research and application will produce. The object of this little manual, however, is not to eulogise or to speculate, but faithfully to record the dry details of title pages, adopting such a system of arrangement as may secure easy and sure reference to the wealthy stores of American Literature; and we confine ourselves to this simple object the more readily, as both English and American Authors have provided admirable critical treatises and guides to American writers and their productions,treating historically the progress of its Literature. Amongst such works, reference may be made to Dr. Griswold´s two books, "The Prose Writers of America," and "Poets and Poetry of America," Messrs. Duyckinck´s "Encyclopædia of American Literature," Chambers´s "Handbook of American Literature," Thomas´s "History of Printing," - as furnishing varied and interesting information upon American Literature.
