The Oxford Book of American Essays is a diverse collection of carefully-selected essays by notable and influential American writers and essayists. With contributions from such seminal figures as Washington Irvine, Francis Hopkinson, and Benjamin Franklin, this is a book that will appeal to all lovers of the English Language, and one that would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "The Ephemera: An Emblem Of Human Life," "The Whistle," "Dialogue Between Franklin And The Gout," "Consolation For The Old Bachelor," "John Bull," "The Mutability Of Literature," "Kean's Acting," "On A Certain Condescension In Foreigners," etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
