OCT 19 1972 NOTE MOST of the sketches included in this volume have appeared at different times, and often unsigned, either in the "Atlantic Monthly" or in the New York "Nation," the rest having been printed respectively in the "Century Magazine,” the "Chautauquan," and the "Independent," in the "Correspondence" of Dr. T. W. Harris, in Redpath's "Life of Captain John Brown," and in "Eminent Women of the Age." They are now brought together and reprinted, partly from the natural instinct of preserving one's own work, and partly because a group of such personal delineations has some increase of value when recognized as proceeding from one mind, and thus expressing the same general point of view. These papers have all received such revision as was made necessary by the development of new facts or by the reconsideration of opinions; the only exception to this being in the case of one paper of a strictly narrative nature, which it was thought best to leave untouched, as the only mode of preserving the precise atmosphere of the thrilling period when it was originally written. |
