Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Putnam's Monthly and the Critic, Vol. 1: A Magazine of Literature, Art and Life; October, 1906-March, 1907 The rest survives only in this dusty crypt of darkened forms and faces, this set of the bound files of the old putnam's. One may, and perhaps even must, agree with the rhymer that his design was a mistake, and that the subject ought to be continued in prose, without on that account being willing to let the verse altogether die. It stands to reason that young Lowell could not have written two thousand lines or so of verse without falling upon felicities worthy of preservation, however mis taken the design may have been or, for that matter, however irrelevant and obscuring the very beauties may have been to the design. The thing is worth rescue and reprint, and I com mend it to you. As to the random felicities, take this one for an example.

Excerpt: ...At first glance, one would think this was a cover design of Country Life in America, but a soberer second glance would show that it was merely a burlesque of the cover of that magazine. The letter-press (in fact, I believe, the whole thing) was got up by Mr. VVallace Irwin, and it shows that he is a very clever parodist. Other magazines and weeklies were represented by facsimiles of their letter-press and general style. There were the Ladies' Home jungle, the Rebuke of Rebukes, Country Life in Africa, etc. Each guest was presented with a portfolio containing copies of these "advance sheets," which formed a most interesting and valuable souvenir of the occasion. If all souvenirs were as interesting and original as this, they would be much more worth while than they usually are, but as a rule people do not spend as much time and trouble and money on them as were spent in getting up these "Advance Sheets from Africa." J8 President Taft is said to be opposed to wealthy diplomats. He is reported as not being much in sympathy with the notion that only very rich men can be sent to London, Paris, St. Petersburg and Vienna, and as on the lookout for men who "will be able to know an American when they see him." That is rather a dig at some of our wealthy diplomatists; whether it is deserved or not I do not know; but I do know that an ambassador to England, or France. or Rus sia or Austria who is not well fixed in this world's goods will have a hard time. He has to have a house, and he is obliged to entertain. James Russell Lowell was not rich, but he did not have to en-tertain, because his wife was an invalid. Edward J. Phelps, though a comparatively poor man, was very popular in London, but he had a hard time...

Observing the men at the wheels of the different machines in any big event, one is struck by the predomin less of consequences, have left their marks on those lean, strong, weatherbeaten faces waiting at the line forthe starter's signal. Not reckless, but absolutely fearless, every man is ready to offer up his life to the spirit of speed. A driver who was seriously injured while practising for the Briarcliff race said as soon as he recovered consciousness: "This makes nineteen times in nine years that I have had broken bones, but I 'm going to keep right on racing." George Robertson's narrow escapes from death on the track would fill a volume. Speed contests and endurance runs certainly weed out the weaklings; no man who is a coward can hope to drive a racing-car to victory, and several drivers now in the public eye have proved themselves to he possessed of courage, endurance and heroism equal to any ever displayed on the battle-fields of history. I. B. Ryall won the hill-climb up Giant's Despair at Wilkesbarre, in May, 1907, driving with a sprained wrist and taking twelve seconds off the world's record for such a feat. Later on, in the twenty--four-hour endurance race at Brighton Beach, the same man drove with a broken leg in a plaster cast strapped to the car. He clung to the wheel all night in this condition, and for one hundred miles of the distance he travelled between dark and daylight, averaging one minute and two seconds to the mile. After driving sixteen out of eighteen hours, he called upon Charles Rifen him off out of pure humanity. Any one who saw his face in the ghastly glare of the arc-lights, drawn and distorted with agony and streaming with sweat, will not soon forget it. Another striking instance...

Download or read book George Palmer Putnam written by Ezra Greenspan and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Palmer Putnam (1814&–1872) was arguably the most important American publisher of the nineteenth century, a man fully and multiply involved in developments transforming all aspects of literary culture. In this comprehensive cultural biography, Ezra Greenspan offers a wide-ranging account of a rich, productive life lived in print, interrelating Putnam&’s life with the life of his family (one of the most remarkable of its time), with the changing patterns of life in New York City and the nation, and with the institutionalization of modern print culture in nineteenth-century America. Putnam&’s roles and achievements were many: he established and ran the publishing house of G. P. Putnam&’s in New York City; published many of the leading American antebellum writers, male and female, canonical and noncanonical (indeed, was responsible for the first act of American canonization&—of Washington Irving); was the leading publisher of art books in his time and launched Putnam's Monthly; led efforts resulting in the institutionalization of the American publishing industry and was the most outspoken promoter of American authorship; led the fight in the United States for international copyright; was the first American publisher to open an overseas (London) branch office; and for a decade was the leading American agent in the international book trade. Putnam&’s achievements were not limited to his professional sphere: he was also the founding Superintendent of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the official publisher to the New York World's Fair of 1853, the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue in New York City during the Civil War, and the organizer of the greatest authors-publishers dinner ever given in nineteenth-century America. Friend and confidant to many of the leading figures of his time, he was not simply a centrally placed publisher but was one of the most centrally placed people of his entire society. This study is based on meticulous archival research into not only Putnam's own papers but into the records of his business, the papers of other family members, and the archives of persons with whom Putnam had contact through business and social networks. In a finely detailed narrative, Greenspan weaves together the story of Putnam's life and that of the development of print culture in nineteenth-century America to offer an ambitious, comprehensive biography of this &"representative American publisher.&"
