When he left New Eng land, books of biography, travels, novels, and mod ern romances, were confined to our seaports ;or, if known in the country, were read only in the families of clergymen, physicians, and lawyers :while certain funeral discourses, the last words and dying speeches of Bryan Shaheen, and Levi A mes, and some dreary somebodys Day of Doom, formed the most diverting part of the farmers library. On his return from captivity, he found a surprising alteration in the public taste. In our inland towns of consequence, social libraries had been instituted, composed of books designed to amuse rather than to instruct; and country booksellers,fostering the new born taste of the people, had filled the whole land with modern travels, and novels almost as incredi ble. The diffusion of a taste for any species of writing through all ranks, in so short a time, would appear impracticable to an European. The pea sant of Europe must first be taught to read, before he can acquire a taste in letters. In New England, the work is half completed.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
