DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from American Humourists: Recent and Living The following sketches of American Humorous Authors were contributed originally, in part to the W eakly Scots man, in part to the People's Friend, and were general] y so well appreciated by the readers of these popular serial publications, that I em fain to believe many will be ready to welcome their appearance in the present collected and enduring form. Not all, nor nearly all, the recent and living American Humourists are laid out here, of course. Washing ton Irving, J ohn Godfrey Saxe, J oel Chandler Harris, Benjamin P. Shillaber, Robert J Burdette, John Habberton, and others, may, indeed, be quoted as notable omissions. But our aim was not to build a biographical dictionary of the facetious writers of the New World; simply rather to sketch and sample, amore, the handful of American Authors whose humor ous writings in recent years have most favourably im pressed the pe0p1e of this country.

Didn't she heighten and broaden and brighten this old earth of ours for you, in spite of yourself?
