Description:Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe compiled and edited the letters and diaries of George Bancroft.Henry C. Stippel compiled the bibliography of works by and about George Bancroft in a separate pamphlet, which was included at the end of the original work.Excerpt from The Life and Letters of George Bancroft, Vol. 1 About five years ago the late Mrs. John C. Bancroft entrusted to me the private papers of her father-in-law that I might prepare the biography now presented. They were so numerous that the task of drawing forth from the mass of written words some semblance of the man whom they concerned seemed at first to offer nothing but difficulties. Yet it soon appeared that Mr. Bancroft himself had done much to simplify his biographer's work. The correspondence was, for the most part, well arranged; and, best of all, I found that Mr. Bancroft had secured many of his own early letters from their recipients, and had followed the practice of preserving copies of most of the letters written during his active life. When the source of manuscript material in the following pages is not specifically noted, it may therefore be understood to lie in the papers placed at my disposal. In one of the multitude of letters not used, I find Mr. Bancroft exclaiming, "Oh! these children and biographers who cannot leave in the dark what belongs there." What does belong there, and what does not?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
