Présentation de l'éditeur
There needs no apology for writing as fully as the material available will allow the life of that American author whose works for the first half of the nineteenth century were more frequently reprinted and more widely distributed and read than those of any other native writer during the same period. Mason Locke Weems published his first pamphlet in 1792, and in 1800 he brought out his Life of Washington, his best known contribution to the literature of his period. From this date until the Civil War, his works were published and republished with a frequency that has a parallel only in the many issues of the modern best sellers, a marked divergence, however, lying in the circumstance that in the case of the latter the necessity for republication generally dies with the same year that sees their first issue. Duyckinck calls Weems the Livy of the Duyckinck, G. L., Cyclopaedia of American Literature. 2V. N. Y. 1855.
