Synopsis

Excerpt from The Old Virginia Gentleman, and Other Sketches Virginia, mother of States and statesmen, as she used to be called, has contributed many men of worth to the multitude that America can number. All her sons have loved her well, while many have reflected great honor on her. But of them all, none has known how to draw her portrait like that one who years ago, under the mild voice and quiet exterior of State Librarian and occasional contributor to the Periodical Press, hid the soul of a man of letters and an artist. Like many another man of letters who has enriched the world, George W. Bagby, before he "found himself," studied for a professional career - that vestilbule to literature. He was first educated in part at Princeton, and later took the degree of M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. After this he set up in Lynchburg, Virginia, as a practitioner of medicine. But the pen was much more grateful to his hand than the scalpel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
