March 1, 1866 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Literature in Letters," edited by James P. Holcombe. "Literature in Letters," is not as suggestive as it might be. "Life in Letters" would be better for life it is, public and private, in cabinet and field, in parlor and closet, in saloon and sick chamber, in boudoir and prison cell, in throne room and cabin. The letter is a genuine production of the mind in its creative moments. Dissertations, essays and histories cannot be termed as letters. Authors make literature out of newspaper clippings, overhaul journals and a very different sort of literature it is likely to be from that which private correspondence furnishes materials for.
