Letters of James Russell Lowell, Vol. 1: Part II, (Bound for Horatio N. Fraser) (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Letters of James Russell Lowell, Vol. 1: Part II, (Bound for Horatio N. Fraser)If I may trust a rather poor memory - without a book to make a crutch of - I ought to thank you for having given me so happy an example of the force of habit. Some four thousand years ago the fountain of Arethusa went down near Eleusis (p) and came up at Syracuse in Sicily, and now, translated to America and tolerably well bound, it has contrived to do the same thing between Shady Hill and Newport. I am quite content. I could not have a better minister resident, nor one less intrusive, only reminding you of me when you choose to give an audience, and then always saying better things than I could. So pray do not give her her passports yet. I shall bring the Conversations when I am happy enough to come myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
