Book Description
Excerpt from Anecdotes and Biographical Sketches Among the numerous papers, letters, journals, of the late Duchess of Devonshire which fell into the hands of her executors, were found several small volumes of Anecdotes and Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Persons, which gives them an interest. The Duchess herself was a person of acknowledged talent, and associating with all that were most celebrated at home and abroad, no one could be better qualified than herself in forming a just opinion of the persons she came in contact with, and by most of whom she was loved and admired.

Excerpt from Memorial and Biographical Sketches A pleasant dale that lowly lay Between two hills, Whose high heads overplaced, The valley did with cool shade overcast. Through midst thereof a little river rolled, By which there sat a knight with helm unlaced, Himself refreshing with the liquid cold, After his travel long and labors manifold.

Excerpt from The American Biographical Sketch Book Andrew fuller once remarked that he would rather be like the moon, which, although full of spots and imperfections, lends a useful light to men, than a meteor, with its dazzling but transient glare, exciting only the wonder of mankind. It was in the spirit of this sentiment that we compiled the following pages, embracing brief sketches, for the most part, of the lives of men who, by unwearied perseverance, have triumphed over difficulties. Born in an humble sphere, which precluded the advantages of a liberal education, we resolved, that although unable to write a learned work, we would attempt to produce a useful one. Hence, the fastidious critic who shall search for faults, will be rewarded with an abundant harvest. If, however, this volume shall serve as a hint to those so well able to write a better, a valuable end will have been attained. But, in the absence of such, we flatter ourself that the biographical sketch Boox, with all its defects, will not be entirely unacceptable to a discerning public. The needle, although unpolished, may yet serve to point the way to the pole 5 and if the examples set forth shall cheer but one sufferer, and enable him to wait with patience for the bright dawning of to-morrow, the labor will not have been in vain.

Excerpt from Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Twenty American Authors His love of natural history, which showed itself in his childish sports and made him a miniature collector, deep ened as his mind matured, and gave him so strong a bent toward university life that he persuaded his parents to post pone their design to establish him in commercial pursuit until he should first spend two additional years at the College of Lausanne. His devotion there to anatomy and kindred studies gave the slight weight that was needed to turn the scale, and at the end of his course he went to the medical school of Zurich, and thence to Heidelberg.
