Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Walcott Boynton, Reader's History of American Literature, Preface. (search)
ration of a younger associate, to whom has fallen the task of modifying and supplementing the original text, so far as either process was necessary in order to make a complete and consecutive, though still brief, narrative of the course of American use as a text-book has been supplied in an appendix, and is believed to be adequate. It should be said further that the personal reminiscences, and, in general, all passages in which the first person singular is employed, are taken over bodily from the original lectures. Elsewhere the authorship of the book as it stands is a composite, but, it is hoped, not confused affair. Acknowledgments are due to Messrs. Longmans (of London and New York), who have permitted the use of some passages from Short studies of American authors, and to Messrs. Harper and Brothers, who consented to similar extracts from a work published by them, entitled Book and heart (New York and London, 1899), both these books being by the senior author of this work.
