Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Twenty American Authors His love of natural history, which showed itself in his childish sports and made him a miniature collector, deep ened as his mind matured, and gave him so strong a bent toward university life that he persuaded his parents to post pone their design to establish him in commercial pursuit until he should first spend two additional years at the College of Lausanne. His devotion there to anatomy and kindred studies gave the slight weight that was needed to turn the scale, and at the end of his course he went to the medical school of Zurich, and thence to Heidelberg.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Portrait Gallery, Vol. 1: With Biographical Sketches It is, however, from the combination of portrait and biography that we reap the utmost degree of utility and pleasure which can be derived from them.' As, in contemplating the portrait of an eminent person, we long to be instructed in his history, so, in considering his actions, we are anxious to behold his countenance. So earnest is this desire, that the imagination is generally ready to coin a set of features, or to conceive a character, to supply the absence of one or the other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of American Authors The following sketches were written originally for the Popular Educator for the especial use of teachers and pupils.

Download or read book The American Biographical Sketch Book Classic Reprint written by William Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Biographical Sketch Book Andrew fuller once remarked that he would rather be like the moon, which, although full of spots and imperfections, lends a useful light to men, than a meteor, with its dazzling but transient glare, exciting only the wonder of mankind. It was in the spirit of this sentiment that we compiled the following pages, embracing brief sketches, for the most part, of the lives of men who, by unwearied perseverance, have triumphed over difficulties. Born in an humble sphere, which precluded the advantages of a liberal education, we resolved, that although unable to write a learned work, we would attempt to produce a useful one. Hence, the fastidious critic who shall search for faults, will be rewarded with an abundant harvest. If, however, this volume shall serve as a hint to those so well able to write a better, a valuable end will have been attained. But, in the absence of such, we flatter ourself that the biographical sketch Boox, with all its defects, will not be entirely unacceptable to a discerning public. The needle, although unpolished, may yet serve to point the way to the pole 5 and if the examples set forth shall cheer but one sufferer, and enable him to wait with patience for the bright dawning of to-morrow, the labor will not have been in vain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gallery of American Portraits Several of the following sketches have already appeared in some of the occasional productions of the author, and received the approbation of the public. It has been suggested by his friends, that as some of these sketches merit preservation, and may possibly be useful to the future historian, and that as they are now interspersed in detached volumes, it would be proper to embody them in one small work, and thus united, give them to the public. In yielding to this suggestion, it may be necessary to remark, that a more intimate acquaintance with those whose characters he has endeavored to portray, has enabled him to make some changes, and add some new traits, which will render the sketches more complete. In all these, he has carefully endeavored to avoid the indulgence of any feeling which might warp his judgment or give too rich or too dark a coloring to the picture he presents. He flatters himself that they will be found as correct as such sketches can be made, without entering minutely into the various shades or slight peculiarities of character.
