Book excerpt: N. Parker Willis, a famous journalist of the nineteenth century draws on his experiences to pen the historical novel "Famous Persons and Places". Willis, one time the highest paid writer in America, was a contemporary of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Washington Irving, and Charles Dickens. He was a supporter, defender, and friend of Edgar Allan Poe. He first printed Poe's "The Raven" in the January 29, 1845 issue of the New York Evening Mirror, where he was editor, which helped make Poe famous. The novel takes the form of a travel memoir, recounting his various visits to England, Scotland and Ireland, where he encountered various famous persons in the royal court. He also describes his visit to Washington D.C., where he attended the inauguration of the President.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some remarks that should properly introduce much of the contents of the present volume, the reader is referred to the Preface published with a previous number of the Series, entitled "Pencillings by the Way." A portion of the original "Pencillings" is here given, the size of the work having compelled an unequal division of it, and the remaining and smaller part serving to complete another volume, with some additional sketches of the same character. The personal portrayings of distinguished contemporaries, of which this volume is mainly composed, will, (as has been abundantly proved in their previous shapes of publication, ) ensure its readableness. It will have a value, from the same quality, that will increase with time, and be, also, independent, to a certain degree, of its literary merits. Sketches of the men of mark of any period are eagerly devoured-more eagerly as the subjects pass away, and are beyond farther seeing and describing-the public requiring less that they should be ably done than that they should be true to the life. Correctness, in such pencilling, is more important than grace in the art. And this I claim to have been proved for these sketches. In the years that they have been before the public, not a single incorrectness has ever been proved or even charged upon them. I sketched what I saw at the time, and, to the best of my ability, sketched truly. With the acrid and persevering warfare that has been waged upon them by the critics, their truth would have been invalidated long ago, if flaw or blemish in this shield of their chief merit could have been found. Expecting vague charges of incorrectness from the malice of criticism, however, I have accumulated testimonials that have never yet been called forth-no friend or acquaintance having ever been estranged or offended by the descriptions I have ventured to give, and subsequent intimacy or exchange of courtesies furnishing ample proof, that, to such sharing of my admiration and opportunities to see more nearly, the world was welcome.
