Download or read book Washington Irving Classic Reprint written by David Jayne Hill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Irving This series is designed to furnish, in a cheap and popular form, a personal, literary, and anecdotal biography of the leading American authors who have attained a world-wide celebrity. The series is projected with the belief that the American people know too little, and would gladly know more, of those great writers who have reflected so much glory on this country by their literary labors. Hitherto the only accessible information respecting these writers has been either slender sketches in biographical dictionaries and text-books on literature, or voluminous and expensive lives which only a few can procure, or find time to read. The portraiture of these great and successful men cannot fail to arouse interest and stimulate ambition in every intelligent American. Such reading will be sure to find commendation in every household, as pure and ennobling in its influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Washington Irving Majesty, plying between Falmouth and New York. At the former port he met and became enamored of Sarah Sanders, a beautiful girl about two years younger than himself, the only daughter of John and'anna Sanders, and grand daughter of an English curate named Kent. They were married at Falmouth, on the 18th of May, 1761, and two years and two months later em barked for New York, leaving the body of their first child in an English grave-yard. William Irving now abandoned the sea, and entering into trade, was prospering in a small way when the Revolution broke out. His house was under the guns of the English ships of war in the harbor, so he concluded to remove to the country, and took refuge with his family in Rahway, Newjersey. He was safer, perhaps, than he would have been in New York; but business was at an end. He was pointed out as a rebel, and British troops were billeted in his best rooms, while the family was banished to the garret, so he made up his mind to return to New York. He was still a rebel, as well as his wife, who supplied prisoners with food from her own table, visited them in prison when they were ill, and furnished them with clothes, blank ets, and the like. I'd rather you'd send them a rope, Mrs. Irving, said the brutal Cunningham, who, nevertheless, allowed her charities to pass through his hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Washington Irving's Traveller Worthy and Dear Reader! - Hast thou ever been waylaid in the midst of a pleasant tour by some treacherous malady: thy heels tripped up, and thou left to count the tedious minutes as they passed, in the solitude of an inn-chamber? If thou hast, thou wilt be able to pity me. Behold me, interrupted in the course of my journeying up the fair banks of the Rhine, and laid up by indisposition in this old frontier town of Mentz. I have worn out every source of amusement. I know the sound of every clock that strikes, and bell that rings, in the place. I know to a second when to listen for the first tap of the Prussian drum, as it summons the garrison to parade, or at what hour to expect the distant sound of the Austrian military band. All these have grown wearisome to me; and even the well-known step of my doctor, as he slowly paces the corridor, with healing in the creak of his shoes, no longer affords an agreeable interruption to the monotony of my apartment. For a time I attempted to beguile the weary hours by studying German under the tuition of mine host's pretty little daughter, Katrine; but I soon found even German had not power to charm a languid ear, and that the conjugating of ich liebe might be powerless, however rosy the lips which uttered it. I tried to read, but my mind would not fix itself. I turned over volume after volume, but threw them by with distaste: "Well, then," said I at length, in despair, "if I cannot read a book, I will write one."
