Excerpt from Biographical Sketch, Personal and Descriptive, of Sylvanus B. Phinney, of Barnstable, Mass A self-made man, never dismayed by obstacles, and he has never been known to show the white feather. As a critic his pen has at' times been cutting, no doubt, but he has met the sharpest darts of his foes with the utmost equanimity and charity. What might seem fulsome, in this connection, to say of many another, in his case is simply justly his due. What all men say of him, irrespective of party or social position, must be true Vox populi, vox Dei. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
