Book excerpt: Excerpt from Off-Hand Takings, or Crayon Sketches of the Noticeable Men of Our Age But let it not be thought that in the following por traits mental traits are lost sight of. Ou the contrary, our Author has a keen eye for detecting such, and a ready pen to record them. A poet himself, and a true one. As the world will before long know, if it knows it not already, he is well able to detect and prize the poetic faculty in others and his general knowledge of most subjects enables him to seize upon the prominent features in the politician, the philosopher, the orator, the merchant, or the journalist. In these Takings we think he has been singularly successful; and if in some instances he has been hurried, by an enthusiastic temperament, into over-coloring, the fault may be easily excused, for where is the painter who does not now and then overstep the modesty of nature, and produce effects which, though they existed in his prolific imagination, are not set down in the strict rules of art? To American readers this Gallery of Portraits of some of their most illustrious men will be of great and abiding interest. Of course there are many others whom the Author might have sketched, but what single volume could have contained all 7 Should, however.
