Excerpt from The New Monthly Magazine and Literary Journal, 1833, Vol. 3 We shall treat very briefly the delicate point of anonymous editorship we are convinced that this, too, has advantages, which its opposite can not counterbalance. If a name is to give importance to editorial dignity, it must, of course, be one of considerable note. The individual so osten sibly sustaining an office that, if well discharged, must employ the greatest portion of his time, must. Nevertheless feel that he has to take care of his reputation as an author, advance bis fortunes, and attend to the pub lic and private avocations which his celebrity has opened to him. These hxhaust his energies. He thinks occasionally of his duties as an editor - 7 - procrastinates - to-morrow will give more leisure - an unexpected and indispensable engagement consumes the morrow the month advances the day of publication presses upon him with alarming celerity - he is totally unprepared - he sits down to write; but he must produce some thing worthy of his fammomething that will justify the high expecta tions of the public. In this be either fails or succeeds according as be is in or out of the vein. In fact, a great name does little in advancing the real and substantial interests of a periodical. The anonymous might, in this view, therefore, be preferred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Monthly Magazine, 1833, Vol. 1 It appears then, that knowledge is seldom laboriously sought for her own. Sake only. Yet, knowledge is usefitl to all mankind. This is an univer sally admitted fact. Every species of active exertion and enterprise in this busy world has its basis in some theory; and, if we except the lowest and most grovelling of mankind, there are none but what have some degree of desire to know the theory upon which operation is built. That degree is generally found to rise in intensity and propriety, in proportion to the amu ence, and comparative refinement in the habits, of the parties; and though the great bulk of society do not lay claim to the character of men of letters, yet, there is a prevailing desire through every grade, to acquire information and useful knowledge; arising from a sense of the now generally admitted truth, that knowledge is power.

Excerpt from Putnam's Monthly Magazine of American Literature, Science, and Art, Vol. 3: January to June, 1854 Fortunately for us, Washington neede no embellishment from his bi pher, nor invention in his illustrator. Simple recital of facts best shows the distinction between him and common men. It may be said that this difference is not discern ible in his youth; that he was a boy among boys, and that an idea of his early excellence is merely a romantic deduction from the eminence of his virtue in after life. But even the few simple records that remain, plainly Show that he was marked from the beginning; and the theory that his youth gave no promise of his future, seems to us as little sustained by wisdom and experience as the wildest notions of a precocious virtue would be. It is only to be regretted that the discern ment of those about him should not have sufficed to make them treasure up every fact of his conduct and every rticular of his conversation. That we might at least have tried to train up other boys to be the Washingtons of our days of peace and prosperity.
