A Biographical Sketch of His Excellency Abraham Lincoln. Late President of the United States. Albany-1870
( About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in...)
About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: • republish only hand checked books; • that are high quality; • enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that • are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

Charles Henry Hart
Edit ProfileEducation
Charles was educated in private schools and under the direction of special tutors, later proceeding to the University of Pennsylvania to study law. He graduated in 1869, having been admitted to the bar the year before.
Career
For twenty-five years Charles Hart practised law in Philadelphia, displaying throughout his legal career a remarkable keenness of perception in cases involving obscure questions, the most notable example, perhaps, being the North American Land Company’s, which he brought to a settlement after eighty years of litigation.
As a result of severe injuries received in 1894 in a railroad accident, Hart was incapacitated for fourteen months; when he became convalescent he determined to give up the practice of law and devote his time to literature and art, of which he had always been an ardent student. He made a special study of the work of Gilbert Stuart.
He was an iconoclastic nature and delighted in the discovery and exposure of falsely labeled canvases. He always contended that the portraits of Don Josef de Jaudenes, first Spanish minister to the United States, and of Don Matilde Stoughton de Jaudenes, both in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and believed to be the work of Gilbert Stuart, were spurious.
Hart's essay on “Frauds in Historical Portraiture, ” destroyed many long-cherished artistic idols. He was a prolific writer of memoirs, monographs, and briefer articles on subjects of interest to him. In acknowledgment of an article in Harper’s Magazine for March 1898, in which he proved that Gustavus Hesselius was the earliest known artist of repute in this country, he received the thanks of King Oscar of Sweden.
Hart was the corresponding secretary of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia in 1865, and its historiographer in 1868. While chairman of the exhibition committee at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts he was instrumental in the organization of the first exhibition of American historical paintings. His catalogue of this collection of paintings was a valuable work of reference. He died in New York July 29, 1918.
