Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Sketch Book: A Society Souvenir Washington - the most beautiful and historic city of the land of freedom and progress, the land to which the oppressed of all nations look with longing as the great world's highway of liberty. Washington - the social centre of America, the home of the most charming and hospitable of people and the most gracious statesmen and diplomats. It is of this city, the epitome of American life, of her lawmakers, statesmen and diplomats, of Congressional proceedings and social events, that it has been my privilege to write for a number of years. A few weeks ago the thought came to me that a souvenir of Washington society which would contain pictures of officials and ladies, of public buildings, and monuments, with brief sketches and descriptions, together with a chapter on the etiquette of Washington society and a review of a season's social events, as they passed in procession, arranged in order for convenient reference, would give a very practical and lucid idea of Washington society and its distinguished actors, and might be well received. As the history of our public men is so generally known, the sketches are mostly devoted to the ladies of the Capital. The volume is partly a compilation from my letters which have appeared in journals of Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities, and bears all the evidences of hasty newspaper work. No one can be more painfully aware of its imperfections than the writer, but as the thought of publishing the souvenir did not present itself until the season was considerably advanced, there has not been time to prepare it on a more elegant model. All the beautiful halftone pictures of individuals, were made expressly for this publication, and I comfort myself with the thought that if my book does not prove satisfactory as a literary production, it will charm the eye. If it is not readable, it certainly is beautiful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Washington Irving History Tales Sketches LOA 16 written by Washington Irving and published by Library of America. This book was released on 1983-11-15 with total page 1198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington Irving’s career as a writer began obscurely at age seventeen, when his brother’s newspaper published his series of comic reports on the theater, theater-goers, fashions, balls, courtships, duels, and marriages of his contemporary New York, called Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent. Written in the persona of an elderly gentleman of the old school, these letters captured his fellow townsmen at play in their most incongruous attitudes of simple sophistication. Irving’s next work, Salmagundi, written in collaboration with his brother William and James Kirke Paulding, and published at irregular intervals in 1805–06, continued this roguish style of satire and burlesque. A History of New York, publicized by an elaborate hoax in the local newspapers concerning the disappearance of the elderly “Diedrich Knickerbocker,” turned out to be a wild and hilarious spoof that combined real New York history with political satire. Quickly reprinted in England, it was admired by Walter Scott and Charles Dickens (who carried his copy in his pocket). In later years, as Irving revised and re-revised his History, he softened his gibes at Thomas Jefferson, the Dutch, and the Yankees of New England; this Library of America volume presents the work in its original, exuberant, robust, and unexpurgated form, giving modern readers a chance to enjoy the version that brought him immediate international acclaim. The Sketch Book contains Irving’s two best-loved stories, “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” It also includes many sketches of English country and city life, as well as nostalgic portraits of vanishing traditions, like the old celebrations of Christmas. A writer of great urbanity and poise, acutely sensitive to the nostalgia of a passing age, Washington Irving was a central figure in America’s emergence on the international scene. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
