MR. STODDARD was the last survivor of the time which has been called the Golden Age of American Letters. His meetings with Edgar Allan Poe, and their curious ending, his visits to Hawthorne, and Hawthorne’s kindly counsel, his talks with Thackeray, his literary discussions before Lowell’s study fire, Boker’s frank comments upon the contemporary theatre, his golden nights with Bayard Taylor are among the pictures which are presented in these personal and fascinating RECOLLECTIONS. The writer’s dry humor and quaint originality of expression impart an added charm to the most notable literary autobiography of recent years.
