REMINISCENCES OF A 

 VERY OLD MAN, 



J 808- J 897. 

 By JOHN SARTAIN. 



Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $2.50. 



MR. SARTAIN was bom in London, where as a 

 boy he witnessed the Peace Jubilee and saw many 

 picturesque phases of old London and its life which 

 have since disappeared. He studied under V'arley and 

 Richter, and began to engrave in Ottley's school. In 

 this country his associations were literary as well as 

 artistic. He knew Washinjjton Irving and others of 

 the Knickerbocker literary circle, and his close relations 

 with Edgar Allan Foe form the subject of a most inter- 

 esting chapter. His " Reminiscences" include personal 

 phases of the development of .American art and letters 

 for over sixty years, and the unpublished history which 

 he presents is of intimate interest. Mr. Sartain's career 

 as editor of Sartain's Union Magazine and other peri- 

 odicals, in addition to his high standing as an engraver, 

 furnished exceptional opportunities for a peculiarly rich 

 acquaintanceship with men and women of distinction. 

 The illustrations include reproductions of rare old prints 

 of London scenes in the first quarter of the century, 

 together with American portraits and pictures which 

 have a lasting historical interest.
