the world Of American literature one

HOughtOn was admirably equipped for

he was u practical printer. He entered

skill founded the well-knOwn Riverside
Press, whose imprint is an accepted
testimonial us to the excellence of ev.

to j. II. OsgOod Il Go. of Boston. which
firm was also the successor of Ticknor

Of the highest excellence. The death

obtrusiveness and self-assertlon OF a
class of impudent upstairs who have
