Born in New York, April 3, 1783; died at Sunnyside on the Hudson, November 28, 1859. Washington Irving has been called "the Dutch Herodotus," "the Father of American Letters," "the Addison of American Literature," "the First Ambassador sent by the New World of Letters to the Old," "the Goldsmith of the nineteenth century." He wrote under a half-dozen pen-names, as follows: Simeon Senex, Jonathan Oldstyle, Launcelot Langstaff, Diedrich Knickerbocker, Fray Antonio Agapida, and Geoffrey Crayon. His mother was of English descent, his father of Scotch; he himself spent many years abroad, but he was a thorough American. He tried law, and made an effort to be interested in mercantile pursuits, but his mind was bent on literature, and in this field he achieved his greatest honors and found in it his life-work. He first went abroad in 1804, returning in 1806. In 1815 he went again to Europe, remaining seventeen years away from America. In 1829 he was Secretary of Legation at the Court of St. James. He returned to America in 1832. As Minister to Spain he spent the years 1842 - 1846 in that country. From 1846 to 1859 he lived a retired life at Sunnyside, his beautiful country place near Tarrytown, New York.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Washington Irving: Sketch Book; Crayon Papers; Wolfert's Roost This was disheartening, and might have deterred me from any further prosecution Of the matter, had the question Of republication in Great Britain rested entirely with me; but I apprehended the appearance Of a spurious edition. I now thought of Mr. Archibald Constable as publisher, having been treated by him with much hospitality during a visit to Edin burgh; but first I determined to submit my work to Sir Walter (then Mr.) Scott, being encouraged to do so by the cordial reception I had experienced from him at Abbotsford a few years previously, and by the favorable opinion he had expressed to others Of my earlier writings. I accordingly sent him the printed numbers of the Sketch Book in a parcel by coach, and at the same time wrote to him, hinting that since I had had the pleasure of partaking of his hospitality, a reverse had taken place in my affairs which made the success ful exercise of my pen all-important to me; I begged him, therefore, to look over the literary articles I had forwarded to him, and, if he thought they would bear European republi cation, to ascertain whether Mr. Constable would be inclined to be the publisher. The parcel containing my work went by coach to Scott's address in Edinburgh; the letter went by mail to his resi dence in the country. By the very first post I received a reply, before he had seen my work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Australian Rip Van Winkle: And Other Pieces; Being a Sketch-Book After the Style of Washington Irving In some states of Australia - especially in the South - there are those curious survivals to be seen as you thread the wild ranges in motor or coach - the roads that lead nowhere. Many will recognize the phenomenon indicated. There used to be scores of them threading the hills and flats that rise immediately over Encounter Bay. And it is the same to-day; as you flash along the fine valley causeways, you see winding up into the uninhabited bush-land on either side, these tracks of white sand, just wide enough to take a vehicle, and choosing one, you can sometimes trace it with the eye before you are away - ribboning for miles over the silent piney ranges. Of course those neat little roads leading so persistently where by all human conjecture there is nothing and never was anything, of permanent consequence (appearing so startlingly in the boundless scrub like a path in an enchanted shrubbery) have quite a steady romantic interest for youth, and a certain family of children which this story concerned, who sometimes took their pleasure on these high flats over the sea, would often turn their cobby little horses into some specially inviting road to nowhere only to find it breaking off into lesser new ones, or threading unalteringly into the unknown, beyond their courage or the daylight. The charm of these roads may be painted in a paragraph. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
