“Infinite riches in a little room.”
—Marlowe.
THE
BRIC-A-BRAC SERIES.
Personal Reminiscences of Famous Poets and Novelists, Wits and
Humorists, Artists, Actors, Musicians, and the like.
EDITED BY
RICHARD HENRY STODDARD.
The volumes already issued have insured the Bric-a-Brac Series wide and permanent
popularity. New volumes quite as interesting and valuable as those already published will be
issued at intervals. It is the aim to gather up in this collection, from the numerous biographies,
autobiographies, and memoirs that have lately appeared, all the reminiscences worth
preservation of the men and women who have done so much to make this century one of the
most brilliant in the annals of English Literature. Occasionalty, too, place will be found in
the volumes for some of the more notable papers regarding distinguished men and women,
which form so important a part of the magazine literature of the day. Each volume will be
complete in itself. A careful index will furnish a ready guide to the contents of the different
volumes, in which, under the capable editorship of Mr. R. H. Stoddard, it may safely
be asserted there will be brought together a fund of choice and fresh anecdote and gossip,
enough not only to justify the general title of the Series, but the line of Marlowe which has
been selected as its motto, “Infinite riches in a little room.”
