Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters, 1832-1899
There were three in?uences which led to my forming the habit of desultory reading which has lasted all my life. One was that my father assisted William Crosby in establishing himself as a bookseller in Boston, and I was permitted to take any book from the counter and read and return it as if it had been a circulating library.
