PREFACE. 



The present volume is an outgrowth of the writer's " Handbook of American 
Authors," first published in 1884, several features which the judgment of the 
public approved in the earlier work having been retained in this. Without 
pretending to contain an exhaustive list of American writers, it may neverthe- 
less lay claim to be fairly inclusive, as the more than six thousand names herein 
mentioned will serve to show. A few names that might naturally be looked 
for here have been omitted at the request of their owners ; while some others 
have not been included, for the reason that diligent search failed to discover 
any trustworthy data concerning them. Here and there, too, the reader may 
chance upon unfilled dates of birth, or initials unexpanded. Yet in the ma- 
jority of such cases application by letter made directly to the owners of the 
names aforesaid, or to relatives and immediate friends of such persons, has 
failed to elicit any response. All reasonable effort has been made to obtain 
trustworthy information upon such points, but failure to obtain replies to let- 
ters of inquiry must account for the greater number of such omissions ; and 
here it may not be out of place to mention that information of more general 
character obtained from private sources has now and then been received too 
late to be of service, owing to the fact that the work was already eleotrotyped 
before it came to hand. 

In a comprehensive work like this, including so large a number of names 
and so many thousand dates, errors must of necessity occur, and the author 
cannot hope to escape adverse criticism in this respect. While absolute accu- 
racy would have been impossible to attain, he has nevertheless taken no little 
pains to approach this ideal ; and to this end, besides resorting to the ordinary 
means of information, he has consulted hundreds of catalogues of libraries, 
colleges, and publishers, as well as denominational year-books, and in number- 
less instances has availed himself of trustworthy information?, received directly 
from private sources. It thus happens that in certain eases dates given in this 
volume differ from those in other works of reference, and where this occurs 
the reason for the adoption of a different date l)ereiB4s supported by excellent 
authority. N,,^ 

It has been thought advisable to retain the " u " in the spfeljihg of such words 
as "colour," "favour," and the like, the exceptions to this duRcurring in titles 
where the spelling of the original has been followed. , In conne^^on with this 



■s-i PREFACE 

it may not be amiss to note that the original spelling of titles has been very 
commonly though not invariably retained. To have done this in every instance, 
however, would have entailed more labour than it was desirable to incur. 

For several reasons the author has thought best in his classification of cer- 
tain authors to discriminate between poets and verse-writers. To apply the 
name of poet to each and every writer of verse would have been manifestly 
unjust. The poets of a. generation are not numerous, but the verse-writers 
are very many. If the term " poet " be loosely applied it loses its signification, 
while to deny that name to many a writer of excellent verse is to do him no 
injustice, but rather a service, as it is no disparagement to a private soldier not 
to be addressed as colonel. 

To the many persons who have so cordially responded to his letters of in- 
quiry, and whom he may not thank by name, the writer desires in this place to 
express his acknowledgments. To Mr. Arthur Mason Knapp, the superintend- 
ent of the Bates Hall department of the Boston Public Library, he has been 
indebted for very much in the way of help and suggestion from the time the 
work was uegun, and to other officials of that department he is under obli- 
gations likewise. He also grate&illy acknowledges much timely assistance 
received from the publishing firms of Lee & Shepard, T. Y. Crowell & Co., 
and Lamson, WolfPe & Co. In the reading of the proofs many valuable sug- 
gestions have been received from the proof-readers at the Riverside Press ; but 
his especial thanks are due his friend, Mr. Francis H. Allen, of Boston, whose 
watchful, critical supervision has been exercised upon every page of proof 
from first to last. The debt of gratitude which the writer owes him for this 
service may not be lightly estimated. Without his help, the book would have 
fallen far short of whatever measure of excellence it may now be judged to 
attain.

Son of A. Bancroft, supra. An emi- 
nent historian who was United States 
minister to England, 1846-49, and to 
Prussia and Germany, 1867-74. He 
was inclined to view history from the 
philosophic standpoint, and his political 
experiences gave him insight into mo- 
tives. In his estimates of men he made 
smaller allowance for the relative values 
of the testimony of different periods 
than is now customary among histo- 
rians. He paid much attention to style, 
but sometimes erred in regard to over- 
ornament. His manner, however, where 
not laboured, is attractive and often dra^ 
matic. The first volume of The His- 
tory of the United States appeared in 
1834, the second in 1837, the third in 
1840, and the succeeding ones 1852-74. 
A revised edition was issued in 1876, 
while volumes 11 and 12 of the first 
edition were published in 1882 as The 
History of the Formation of the Con- 
stitution of the United States. The 
latest revised edition was printed 1884— 
85. Minor works include Martin Van 
Buren to the End of his Public Ca- 
reer; Literary and Historical Miscel-

ceits of the time, but here and there 
are gleams of real poetic vigour, while 
in the poem Contemplations, the least 
laboured of them all, she exhibits true 
poetic inspiration. See Works of, edited

Bryant, ■William CuUen. Ms., 1794- 
18'78. A poet and journalist of New 
York city. In early life he began the 
practice of law, but soon abandoned it 
for journalism and, removing- to New 
York in 182.5, became in 1828 the edi- 
tor of the Evening Post, with which he 
remained associated until his death. 
His earUest poem, The Embargo, a po- 
litical satire, was published when its 
author was but thirteen, but the first 
collection of his poems was not made 
until 1821, the famous Thanatopsis be- 
ing one of the eight which the volume 
comprised. The quantity of Bryant's 
verse is small, the quality high, but not 
uniformly so. Its tone is usually calmly 
philosophic, and it rarely makes any 
very effective appeal to the sympa- 
thies, its coldness arising partly from 
lack of humour, partly from natural re- 
serve. The Embargo ; The Spanish 
Revolution ; The Ages ; The Fountain 
o£ Youth, and Other Poems ; The 
White-Footed Deer; The Flood of

pastor of the North Church, 1683-1728, 
and his father's colleague for the 
greater part of that period. He was a

that his reputation rests. Among other 
■works are Wonders of the Invisible 
World ; Christian Philosopher ; Psal-

Relating to Witchcraft ; Essays to Do 
Good ; The Armour of Christianity ;

intensely in earnest in his endeavours

born in Boston, was a graduate of 
Harvard in 1844, and in 1840 explored 
the wilderness beyond the Rocky 
Mountains, The Oregon Trail resulting 
from this journey. For many years he 
was partially blind, but as far as possi- 
ble continued the historical work which 
he was meditating, while as a relaxa- 
tion he devoted much time to horticul- 
ture and published a Book of Roses in 
1866. The work of his life was the 
series of historical narratives called

1892. The work includes, in their 
order. Pioneers of France in the New 
World; The Jesuits in North Ame-

Stowe, Mrs. Harriet Elizabeth

married to Professor Stowe at Cincin- 
nati, and, in frequent visits to the slave 
States at that period, acquired a know- 
ledge of Southern customs. In 1850 
she removed to Brunswick, Maine, and, 
having by this time become deeply im- 
pressed with the wrong of slavery, she 
wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin for The Na- 
tional Era at Washington, in which 
paper it appeared serially from June, 
1851, till April, 1852. It was then pub- 
lished in book form and speedily be- 
came world-famous, five hundred thou- 
sand copies being sold in America within 
five years, while translations of it ap- 
peared in twenty languages. As a moral 
agent few books have been of so much 
importance. From a literary point of 
view there is less to be said of it ; and The 
Minister's Wooing, a novel of the early 
days of the republic, must rank as her 
finest work. The quality of her other 
work is uneven, its highest level b^ing re- 
presented by Oldtown Folks ; The Pearl 
of Orr's Island ; Dred ; The Chimney 
Corner ; Religious Poems, among which 
is the well-known hymn, " Still, still

'Whitman,"Walter [commonly "Walt]. 
N. Y., 1819-1892. A poet regarding 
whose claims to the title much contro- 
versy has raged. During the Civil 
War he served as a volunteer nurse in 
the Washington hospitals, and, after 



holding a government clerkship till 
1873, removed to Camden, New Jersey, 
where the rest of his life was passed. 
Leaves of Grass, his first book, appeared 
in 1855, a vigourous protest against es- 
tablished rules of versification in its 
utter formlessness. Drum Taps, which 
included the now famous Lincoln ele- 
gies, When Lilacs Last in the Door- 
yard Bloomed, and Captain, My Cap- 
tain, followed in 1865. The republica- 
tion of his poems in England in 1868 
aroused instant attention there, and ex- 
cited extravagant praise in some quar- 
ters. His rejection of rhyme and me- 
tre will probably always repel the mass 
of readers. His later works include.
