Synopsis
Excerpt from James Gates Percival: An Anecdotal Sketch and a Bibliography
Except to a few special collectors and students of early American literature, the books of James Gates Percival are to-day unknown; his name, which forty years ago was linked with Bryant's, is known scarcely better than are his books - af fording another illustration that fame based on contemporary judgment rests on shifting sand.
