1916. Illustrated. From the introduction: This little book is intended to round out and complete the studies in literature already issued in Comfort Found in Good Old Books and Modern English Books of Power...In this third book I have selected representative American authors who in my judgment best illustrate the national genius...My aim in this book has been to arouse interest in these great American writers who are so little known to most readers and to indicate their best works. Some of the authors featured in this entertaining volume include: Washington Irving, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Emerson; Mark Twain; and others.
