Excerpt from The Lectures of Bret Harte: Compiled From Various Sources, to Which Is Added "the Piracy of Bret Harte's Fables"Hile searching for material relative to Bret Harte I came across, from time to time, fragments of the lectures of that pop ular American humorist and writer. These fragments suggested to me the possibility of bringing the complete lectures together in en during book form, an undertaking which had, because of its extreme difficulty, never before been attempted. This little book, containing Harte's two lectures: The Argonauts of and American Humor, and in addition, the Reply to 'toast to is the result of my work along this line. To the lectures I have added an article entitled, sqthe Piracy of Bret Harte's Fables giving, as its name im plies, the history of the piracy of these three little parodies on zesop's work, and needing, I believe, no further comment here. The Fables themselves have been pictured, especially for this edition, by the well-known illustrator, merle johnson.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
