Book Overview:
Collection of 32 essays by American authors ranging from Benjamin Franklin to Emerson to Whitman to Henry James to Theodore Roosevelt. On subjects from the gout to insects with a 24 hour life span to old bachelors to leaves of grass to the odes of Horace. It seems to be an attempt to show off the Americans as writers.

Good book club book. Lots of options for discussion.
Early American essays on areas of specialized interests, written in that arch style of the time. The one by Edgar Allan Poe on how he constructed "The Raven" is worth the price of admission.
Just an OK collection. Everything is pre-WWI. By far the best An. Dean Howells on dreams.
