Book Description
Excerpt from American Prose (1607-1865) The text follows with scrupulous care the text of the early editions. I have reproduced spelling, capitalization, punctu ation, use of italics, etc., in the belief that students should read even the older works as they originally appeared, thus becoming familiar with their flavor and atmosphere, and gaining a sense of the historical development of language and typo graphical usage. The interchange Of i and j and of u and v has not been kept, however, because it is confusing to inexperienced readers; and obvious misprints, and a few eccentricities of punctuation and capitalization that obscured the thought, have been corrected.
