From The Easy Chair V1

By George William Curtis

Book Overview

From The Easy Chair V1 is a book written by George William Curtis. It is a compilation of essays and articles that were originally published in Harper's Weekly, a popular American magazine in the late 1800s. The book covers a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, art, and social issues of the time. Curtis was known for his elegant writing style and his ability to capture the spirit of the era in which he lived. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural landscape of America during the late 1800s. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or politics.Honestus walked quietly home, perceiving that the result of his practical effort to discharge the primary duties of a citizen was that Sly, one of the most disreputable and dishonest of public sharks, had been nominated by a committee of which he was chairman, and that the whole weight of the name of Honestus was thrown upon the side of rascality with a diamond pin. And he reflected that in politics, as elsewhere, it is necessary to begin as early in preparation for action as the rascals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
