Washington Irving (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Washington Irving This series is designed to furnish, in a cheap and popular form, a personal, literary, and anecdotal biography of the leading American authors who have attained a world-wide celebrity. The series is projected with the belief that the American people know too little, and would gladly know more, of those great writers who have reflected so much glory on this country by their literary labors. Hitherto the only accessible information respecting these writers has been either slender sketches in biographical dictionaries and text-books on literature, or voluminous and expensive lives which only a few can procure, or find time to read. The portraiture of these great and successful men cannot fail to arouse interest and stimulate ambition in every intelligent American. Such reading will be sure to find commendation in every household, as pure and ennobling in its influence.
