I have it on my heart to name him in thepresence of our great literary men not only because I had an affectionfor him, tenderer than I then knew, but because I believe his book isworthier of more remembrance than it seems to enjoy. I was reading itonly the other day, and I found it delightful, and much better than Iimagined when I accepted for the Atlantic the several papers which it ismade up of. I am not sure but it belongs to the great literature in thatfidelity to life which I have spoken o...f, and which the author broughthimself to practise with such difficulty, and under so much stress fromhis editor. He really wanted to fake it at times, but he was docile atlast and did it so honestly that it tells the history of his strangecareer in much better terms than it can be given again. He had been, ashe claimed, "a cruel uncle's ward" in his early orphan-hood, and whileyet almost a child he had run away from home, to fulfil his heart'sdesire of becoming a clog-dancer in a troupe of negro minstrels.
