PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION
In the present issue of this work such errors and misprints as the
writer or others have noted in earlier editions are corrected, while
the supplement has been extended sixty-five pages by the insertion
of thirteen hundred and twenty names in excess of those included in
the fourth edition. Wherever needful the entries in this portion of
the volume have been materially amplified, and this has occurred in
numerous instances, while throughout the book there have been supplied
many dates of deaths happening since the first issue of the Dictionary,
in 1897. Since that year the work has been enlarged to the extent of
one hundred and forty-six pages of addenda in all, and though it still
falls much short of perfection in its line, the writer trusts that it
will yet be found responsive to all reasonable requirements that may be
made upon it.
BOSTON, DECEMBER 1, 1904.
PREFACE.
The present volume is an outgrowth of the writer’s “Handbook of
American Authors,” first published in 1884, several features which
the judgment of the public approved in the earlier work having been
retained in this. Without pretending to contain an exhaustive list of
American writers, it may nevertheless lay claim to be fairly inclusive,
as the more than six thousand names herein mentioned will serve to
show. A few names that might naturally be looked for here have been
omitted at the request of their owners; while some others have not been
included, for the reason that diligent search failed to discover any
trustworthy data concerning them. Here and there, too, the reader may
chance upon unfilled dates of birth, or initials unexpanded. Yet in
the majority of such cases application by letter made directly to the
owners of the names aforesaid, or to relatives and immediate friends of
such persons, has failed to elicit any response. All reasonable effort
has been made to obtain trustworthy information upon such points,
but failure to obtain replies to letters of inquiry must account for
the greater number of such omissions; and here it may not be out of
place to mention that information of more general character obtained
from private sources has now and then been received too late to be
of service, owing to the fact that the work was already electrotyped
before it came to hand.
In a comprehensive work like this, including so large a number of
names and so many thousand dates, errors must of necessity occur, and
the author cannot hope to escape adverse criticism in this respect.
While absolute accuracy would have been impossible to attain, he has
nevertheless taken no little pains to approach this ideal; and to
this end, besides resorting to the ordinary means of information,
he has consulted hundreds of catalogues of libraries, colleges, and
publishers, as well as denominational year-books, and in numberless
instances has availed himself of trustworthy information received
directly from private sources. It thus happens that in certain cases
dates given in this volume differ from those in other works of
reference, and where this occurs the reason for the adoption of a
different date herein is supported by excellent authority.
It has been thought advisable to retain the “u” in the spelling of
such words as “colour,” “favour,” and the like, the exceptions to
this occurring in titles where the spelling of the original has been
followed. In connection with this it may not be amiss to note that
the original spelling of titles has been very commonly though not
invariably retained. To have done this in every instance, however,
would have entailed more labour than it was desirable to incur.
For several reasons the author has thought best in his classification
of certain authors to discriminate between poets and verse-writers. To
apply the name of poet to each and every writer of verse would have
been manifestly unjust. The poets of a generation are not numerous, but
the verse-writers are very many. If the term “poet” be loosely applied
it loses its signification, while to deny that name to many a writer of
excellent verse is to do him no injustice, but rather a service, as it
is no disparagement to a private soldier not to be addressed as colonel.
To the many persons who have so cordially responded to his letters
of inquiry, and whom he may not thank by name, the writer desires in
this place to express his acknowledgments. To Mr. Arthur Mason Knapp,
the superintendent of the Bates Hall department of the Boston Public
Library, he has been indebted for very much in the way of help and
suggestion from the time the work was begun, and to other officials of
that department he is under obligations likewise. He also gratefully
acknowledges much timely assistance received from the publishing firms
of Lee & Shepard, T. Y. Crowell & Co., and Lamson, Wolffe & Co. In the
reading of the proofs many valuable suggestions have been received
from the proof-readers at the Riverside Press; but his especial thanks
are due his friend, Mr. Francis H. Allen, of Boston, whose watchful,
critical supervision has been exercised upon every page of proof from
first to last. The debt of gratitude which the writer owes him for this
service may not be lightly estimated. Without his help, the book would
have fallen far short of whatever measure of excellence it may now be
judged to attain.
