Excerpt from Reviews and Miscellanies
The biography of Mr. Paine presents another of those melancholy details, too commonly furnished by literary life, - those gleams of sunshine, and days of darkness; those mo ments of rapture, and periods of lingering de pression; those dreams of hope, and waking hours of black despondency. Such is the rapid round of transient joys and frequent sufferings that form the be all and the end all here, of the unlucky tribe that live by writing. Surely, if the young imagination could ever be repressed by sad example, these gloomy narratives would be sufiicient to deter it from venturing into the fairy land of litera ture - a region so precarious in its enjoyments and fruitful in its calamities.

This is a wonderful collection of work from Washington Irving that is not always so easy to find at such an affordable price as an actual book (versus on a kindle or other e-book format). I purchased it as a gift and absolutely made the day of the Washing Irving fanatic in my family!
Washington Irving is a true story teller. In Wolfert's Roost, we get the history behind the house and home he actually created from Wolferts Roost, (His Sunnyside) An amazing glimpse into the history of the Dutch of New York. The other stories in the book are from his living in Spain when he was secretary to the American Ambassador, and when he was the American Ambassador, combining Spanish history into his well woven tales.
