EDITOR’S NOTE
The sketches of authors at home in this book have as their specialvalue the fact that the writer of each article was selected for thepurpose by the author himself. The sketches appeared from time to timein The Critic, where they attracted particular attention byvirtue of their authenticity, as well as for the names of the subjectsand the writers.
The Canadian border has been crossed in the article on Prof. GoldwinSmith; but with this exception the series treats only of nativeAmerican writers who make their home on this side of the Atlantic.Since these sketches were written, some of the most distinguished ofthe authors in the list have died, all of them meeting natural deaths,with one exception, Mr. Paul Leicester Ford.
