This Is A New Release Of The Original 1888 Edition.

1890. A litterateur of New Haven, who is best known by his earlier and still popular works, Dream Life and Reveries of a Bachelor, books of a pleasantly sentimental cast. Towards the end of his long life, Mitchell wrote English Lands, Letters, and Kings, which contains many shrewd observations concerning his contemporaries, as well as pungent estimates, often mingled with humour, of the writings and character of earlier authors, but is generally not considered as original contributions to critical literature.

1888. A collection of musings originally released under the title name of Ik Marvel. From the Original Preface: Yet I am inclined to think that bachelors are the only safe and secure observers of all the phases of married life. The rest of the world have their hobbies, and by law, as well as by immemorial custom, are reckoned unfair witnesses in everything relating to their matrimonial affairs...I have moreover a kindly feeling for these Reveries from their very private character; they consist mainly of just such whimsies, and reflections, as a great many brother bachelors are apt to indulge in, but which they are too cautious, or too prudent, to lay before the world. As I have in this matter shown a frankness and naivete which are unusual, I shall ask a corresponding frankness in my reader; and I can assure him safely that this is eminently one of those books which were never intended for publication.
