About this book
Carlyle's Laugh, and Other Surprises is by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The text speaks of Cooper's substantial precedence in American novel-writing and says he rendered the unique service of inaugurating three especial classes of fiction, the novel of the American Revolution, the Indian novel, and the sea novel. The text says it may be safely said that no author of fiction in the English language, except Scott, has held his own so well for half a century after death.
The text says the work was issued by Mr. Atkinson on his own responsibility and by his own editing, from June 3, 1899, to September, 1900, under the name of The Anti-Imperialist. The text says it is sometimes said that there was never yet a great migration which did not result in some new form of national genius, and that this should be true in America, if anywhere.
