Book Description
Excerpt from A Plain American in England For years I have wanted to write my autobiography, but there seems to be no precedent for any one to break out in self-praise unless the person is well-known to the public, like Julius Caesar, Mr. Pepys, Booker T. Washington, or Chimmie Fadden. I can hardly expect to rival in interest the personal history of royal and oil kings, but I am sure this sketch of one of the common people has the tales told by Julius surpassed for every-day interest though possibly it will be of less use in the schoolrooms. It's a great comfort, too, to have such a good opportunity for the free and unfettered use of the pronoun "I."

Book Description
Excerpt from The American in England It was quite otherwise in England; the climate presented itself to him at the most sombre season of the year, when it was his fortune first to visit it, under an aspect of more than usual gloom. He has laboured, moreover, under restraints which did not fetter him in writing on Spain, growing out of the circumstance that his work would be likely to find readers in the country it described. This consideration has hung upon his pen with a nightmare influence, and driven him, in a great measure, from the description of that which was most likely to prove of general interest.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Queen of the Swamp: And Other Plain Americans Some of these stories were written more than a dozen years ago. They have been gathered in from the Atlantic Monthly, Har per's Bazar, Outing, the Independent, the Delineator, the Chicago Tribune, the late Chicago Graphic, and Lippincott's Maga zine, by courteous permission of the editors; and revised year after year. Many of them embody phases of American life which have entirely passed away, or are yet to be found in secluded spots like eddies along the mar gin oi the nation's progress. Their honest preservation of middle western experience makes them, at least in the author's eyes, seem worthy themselves of preservation. The Puritan and the Church of England took possession of the Atlantic seaboard, north and south; and Jesuit and Recollet missionaries carried the cross through Can ada and down the Mississippi. But the pio neer evangelist of the Middle West was the Methodist itinerant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The New Americans Happily his conception of what distinction and dignity included for a man like himself took in a great deal; nearly everything, in fact, except tolerance and a sense of humour. He had been gifted with a robust frame which he had been at pains to break to manly accomplishments: he could ride and shoot, fence, box, wrestle, and swim with proficiency; he openly despised any man not a consumptive who could not; and these consumptive he despised, instinctively, in secret. He had inherited a strong, dull intelligence in which he never found anything which he had not first put there; but from his childhood good masters had been offered him; he had spent a certain number of hours every day in adding to the stock of notions they had given him, and it was not his habit to forget what he had once learned. Neither was it his habit to unlearn anything: what had once obtained lodgment in his head formed an insuperable obstacle to the passage of everything not consistent with it; and the considerable library he had collected at Estcourt served mainly to dress out his preconceptions in the foppery of scholarship. He had been a young buck in his day, looking at himself seriously in the glass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
