The Life, Letters, and Table-Talk of Benjamin Robert Haydon.
Men and Manners in America One Hundred Years Ago. New York. Scribner, Armstrong & Co. 1876.
These two volumes are the first instalments of the “Sans-Souci Series,” intended as a companion to the “Bric-à-Brac Series.” The life of Haydon the artist is full of painful interest. The present volume is a condensation by Mr. R. H. Stoddard of the larger Engglish life.
Men and Manners in America One Hundred Years Ago, edited by H. G. Scudder, tells pleasantly enough how men and women lived and moved and had their being in this country a century ago.
Transcriber’s Note:
Obvious printing errors, such as upside down or backwards letters and accent marks, mismatched open and closed quote marks, duplicate words, and incorrect spacing between words, were corrected. Unprinted letters and final stops were added. Alternate and obsolete spellings were left unchanged. Duplicate page number 765 was renumbered as 766.
Footnotes in the text were numbered in order and moved to the end of the article in which the anchor occurs. Footnote anchors in tables were changed to letters. Many table footnotes have multiple anchors, hence no links were made from those footnotes to the related anchors. Added missing anchor to footnote [190].
Noted, but left unchanged: Some listings in the Contents are not in alphabetical order.
Spaces were used instead of decimal points to separate dollars from cents and pounds from shillings in “Labor in Europe and America.”
