Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Crayon Sketches and Off-Hand Takings: Of Distiguished American Statesmen, Orators, Divines, Essayists, Editors, Poets, and Philanthropists It was in the Spring of 1850 that the author of the following Sketches called, one day, into the office of the New-Englander, in Boston, (whither he was then much accustomed to resort,) and during a conversation which ensued with the editors of that sheet, - then somewhat known in this vicinity as a temperance, literary, and family journal, - the subject of the preparation of a series of articles on the prominent men of the day was discussed, and favorably entertained. The author´s previous effusions had been marked with a good deal of pith and piquancy, and the conductors of the New-Englander considered that an highly interesting feature would be added to their paper by his regular contributions, written in the free and cordial manner which was his wont. Nor were their expectations disappointed. Mr. Bungay´s pursuits having, at different periods, brought him in connection with many of the leading men of our country, - possessing a mind unusually well refreshed with the thoughts of our best writers, both in prose and verse, - and, withal, being himself a man of earnest and kindly sympathies, he was in every respect qualified for the task he had assumed.
