PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION
In the present issue of this work such errors and misprints as the
writer or others have noted in earlier editions are corrected, while
the supplement has been extended sixty-five pages by the insertion
of thirteen hundred and twenty names in excess of those included in
the fourth edition. Wherever needful the entries in this portion of
the volume have been materially amplified, and this has occurred in
numerous instances, while throughout the book there have been supplied
many dates of deaths happening since the first issue of the Dictionary,
in 1897. Since that year the work has been enlarged to the extent of
one hundred and forty-six pages of addenda in all, and though it still
falls much short of perfection in its line, the writer trusts that it
will yet be found responsive to all reasonable requirements that may be
made upon it.
BOSTON, DECEMBER 1, 1904.
PREFACE.
The present volume is an outgrowth of the writer’s “Handbook of
American Authors,” first published in 1884, several features which
the judgment of the public approved in the earlier work having been
retained in this. Without pretending to contain an exhaustive list of
American writers, it may nevertheless lay claim to be fairly inclusive,
as the more than six thousand names herein mentioned will serve to
show. A few names that might naturally be looked for here have been
omitted at the request of their owners; while some others have not been
included, for the reason that diligent search failed to discover any
trustworthy data concerning them. Here and there, too, the reader may
chance upon unfilled dates of birth, or initials unexpanded. Yet in
the majority of such cases application by letter made directly to the
owners of the names aforesaid, or to relatives and immediate friends of
such persons, has failed to elicit any response. All reasonable effort
has been made to obtain trustworthy information upon such points,
but failure to obtain replies to letters of inquiry must account for
the greater number of such omissions; and here it may not be out of
place to mention that information of more general character obtained
from private sources has now and then been received too late to be
of service, owing to the fact that the work was already electrotyped
before it came to hand.
In a comprehensive work like this, including so large a number of
names and so many thousand dates, errors must of necessity occur, and
the author cannot hope to escape adverse criticism in this respect.
While absolute accuracy would have been impossible to attain, he has
nevertheless taken no little pains to approach this ideal; and to
this end, besides resorting to the ordinary means of information,
he has consulted hundreds of catalogues of libraries, colleges, and
publishers, as well as denominational year-books, and in numberless
instances has availed himself of trustworthy information received
directly from private sources. It thus happens that in certain cases
dates given in this volume differ from those in other works of
reference, and where this occurs the reason for the adoption of a
different date herein is supported by excellent authority.
It has been thought advisable to retain the “u” in the spelling of
such words as “colour,” “favour,” and the like, the exceptions to
this occurring in titles where the spelling of the original has been
followed. In connection with this it may not be amiss to note that
the original spelling of titles has been very commonly though not
invariably retained. To have done this in every instance, however,
would have entailed more labour than it was desirable to incur.
For several reasons the author has thought best in his classification
of certain authors to discriminate between poets and verse-writers. To
apply the name of poet to each and every writer of verse would have
been manifestly unjust. The poets of a generation are not numerous, but
the verse-writers are very many. If the term “poet” be loosely applied
it loses its signification, while to deny that name to many a writer of
excellent verse is to do him no injustice, but rather a service, as it
is no disparagement to a private soldier not to be addressed as colonel.
To the many persons who have so cordially responded to his letters
of inquiry, and whom he may not thank by name, the writer desires in
this place to express his acknowledgments. To Mr. Arthur Mason Knapp,
the superintendent of the Bates Hall department of the Boston Public
Library, he has been indebted for very much in the way of help and
suggestion from the time the work was begun, and to other officials of
that department he is under obligations likewise. He also gratefully
acknowledges much timely assistance received from the publishing firms
of Lee & Shepard, T. Y. Crowell & Co., and Lamson, Wolffe & Co. In the
reading of the proofs many valuable suggestions have been received
from the proof-readers at the Riverside Press; but his especial thanks
are due his friend, Mr. Francis H. Allen, of Boston, whose watchful,
critical supervision has been exercised upon every page of proof from
first to last. The debt of gratitude which the writer owes him for this
service may not be lightly estimated. Without his help, the book would
have fallen far short of whatever measure of excellence it may now be
judged to attain.

distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no
representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
country other than the United States.

the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply

(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means

all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™
works.

effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or

cannot be read by your equipment.

LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth

Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
