About this book
Washington Irving is a book by Charles Dudley Warner. The contents list chapters including Boyhood, Manhood: First Visit to Europe, The Knickerbocker Period and In Spain. The section headed Preliminary says it is over twenty years since the death of Washington Irving removed that personal presence, which is always a powerful, and sometimes the sole, stimulus to the sale of an author's books.
The text says Charles Brockden Brown died, the victim of a lingering consumption, in 1810, at the age of thirty-nine. A passage the text quotes says, "As far as I know my own mind, I am thoroughly a republican, and attached, from complete conviction, to the institutions of my country." The text says a recent anonymous writer has said that most of the writing of our day is characterized by an intellectual strain.
