January 20, 1881 issue

add to cart   close window

This article literary appraises the book "Reminiscences of a Journalist," by Charles T. Congdon. Congdon comes honestly by his literary tastes and his journalistic calling. In 1840, close upon his graduation, apparently, and before he was twenty years old or had left Providence, Congdon was called to edit in a "free-suffrage" paper. Returning to his native town of New Bedford, he studied law and practiced it, but finally became editor of the local journal "Bulletin." In 1854 Mr. Congdon went to Boston to succeed a historian in the conduct of the Whig daily paper called "The Atlas."
