Excerpt from A Library of American Literature, Vol. 1 of 10: From the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time

If our task shall be rightly executed, an important addition will be provided for the library of an American household. The work, as its name implies, will be a library in itself, whose contents are most attractive, offering precisely that of which the home-reader wishes to be informed. After all, as with the study of Nature, the best way to gain a knowledge of literature is to survey it with our own eyes. Nothing can enable one sooner to test the quality of our native product, - to comprehend its origin and development, and its reflection of the different stages of American history and aspiration, than such an exhibition as we propose.
