Excerpt from Shaking Hands With England The world has indeed moved since those days; and I wonder if we can ever drop back into the era of locally sensational newspaper headings. Has our ap petite for news become so whetted that never again will a single murder case hold our attention at the breakfast table? You remember Horace Walpole's remark that he could scarcely wait for his daily jour nal, since news of fresh victories was literally brought in with the toast. How tame his day was, as com pared with ours, and how little cereal he would have consumed had he been living now!

Excerpt from The Shop of Dreams: A Tale of Love, Youth and Books Ven if you do not believe me, I must tell you that there are people in the sprawling, conglomerate, agate city that is New York who have dreams in their hearts. Yes! Strange as it may seem, there are clean young spirits in our harsh town that do not care to rush and swarm and push through the stone streets; spirits that hunger for quiet and peace - and achieve them.

(Excerpt from The Chain: A Novel He had come prepared to ...)
Excerpt from The Chain: A Novel He had come prepared to fall under the spell of New York - everyone did. That was the reason his heart sank when he got his first impression of the vast city, stretch ing out in all directions like a huge scrambled egg. New York would grow upon him; soon he would be an integral part of this throbbing, pulsing mass, one of the serious workers within this honeycomb; and in some distant day perhaps he too, would be known, as others were known. Already one magazine had accepted three poems he had written. In that editoral office, somewhere down under Brooklyn Bridge, he had been recognized and he had had personal letters from the woman editor, with promises of payment upon publication. This was but a beginning, of course, in his step upward. There were great worlds to conquer; but at twenty-two it does not seem a colossal task to gird on one's armor and get into the fight. He had all the arrogance of youth, and a curious belief in himself and his talents, though cursed with a sensitiveness that made him shrink from calling upon strangers, or even upon people to whom he had letters of introduction. When he was alone, as he was now, he could meditate upon all the wild things he would do, all the important men and women he would seek out; he even planned his opening sentences. But when he actually started out to meet them he knew his heart would fail him, and it would take him hours - days.

This classic works, written by Charles Hanson Towne, is an account of Towne life and adventures of living in New York. "New York may rob us of our strength; but likewise she adds immeasurably to the glory and wonder of life. And I, as one of her million of children, am grateful to her for all that she has given me of love and friendship and good hard work" This book was originally published in 1931 and is republished here with a new introductory biography of the author.
https://www.amazon.com/This-York-Charles-Hanson-Towne/dp/1473314909?SubscriptionId=AKIAJRRWTH346WSPOAFQ&tag=prabook-20&linkCode=sp1&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=1473314909
Charles was born on February 2, 1877 in Louisville, Ky. He was the youngest of the six children of Paul A. Towne, a professor of mathematics, and Mary Stuart (Campbell) Towne. When he was three years old, his family moved to New York City.
Towne acquired his formal education in the New York's public schools and, for one year, at the College of the City of New York.
In 1901, having served an apprenticeship as an assistant to John Brisben Walker, the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, he joined the staff of the newly founded Smart Set, serving successively as editorial reader, associate editor, and finally (1904 - 1907) editor. Striving for a tone of modernity and sophistication, he opened the pages of Smart Set to O. Henry, Zona Gale, James Branch Cabell, and other recent arrivals on the literary scene.
In 1907, when Theodore Dreiser became editor of the woman's magazine The Delineator, he hired Towne as fiction editor. Three years later, in the editorial reshuffling that followed Dreiser's departure from Butterick Publications, Towne became editor of Designer, a post he held until 1915.
Perhaps his most important position was as managing editor (1915 - 1920) of McClure's Magazine, no longer the muckraking journal in which Lincoln Steffens and Ida Tarbell had published their powerful exposés, but still a force in the world of popular magazines. Towne helped transform McClure's into an outspoken supporter of the Allied cause and a champion of American involvement in World War I.
He was a founding member in 1917 of the Vigilantes, a group of writers and editors who banded together to produce and disseminate pro-war and pro-Allied propaganda in the nation's press. The anthology For France (1917) and Shaking Hands With England (1918) were products of this intensely political phase of Towne's career. These efforts won for him the warm friendship of Theodore Roosevelt, and after Roosevelt's death, Towne edited an anthology of poems in honor of the former president (Roosevelt as the Poets Saw Him, 1923).
In 1920 Towne left the declining McClure's, and for the next six years, without regular employment, he turned in earnest to varied literary endeavors, which he had long pursued as an avocation. For years he had contributed verses to such popular magazines as The Saturday Evening Post, occasionally collecting these fugitive poems into slim volumes. A longer effort, Manhattan: A Poem (1909), had won warm praise from William Dean Howells.
In 1925 Towne gathered what he considered the best of his verse into a volume called Selected Poems. The reception was mixed: one reviewer perceived "a quiet, unostentatious beauty" in them, but another complained that "almost axiomatic statements are made with tedious solemnity".
Towne also wrote novels, producing in a four-year span The Bad Man (1921), The Chain (1922), The Gay Ones (1924), and Tinsel (1925). A prevailing theme, especially in The Gay Ones, was the neglect of the old verities and the undermining of traditional social arrangements by the younger generation. Again, the critical response was not encouraging. Perhaps the happiest product of this period of indefatigable writing was a series of light and pleasant travel essays, a form well adapted to Towne's style and abilities. Serialized in various magazines, they were later published in book form as Loafing down Long Island (1921), Ambling through Acadia (1923), and Jogging around New England (1939).
In 1926 Towne returned to magazine publishing as editor of Harper's Bazaar, remaining in this position for three years. In 1931-1937 he contributed a regular literary column to the New York American; in 1939 he published an etiquette book for men, Gentlemen Behave; and in 1940-1941 he toured as one of the three doctors in a road-company production of Life With Father. His autobiography, So Far So Good (1943), was a good-tempered anecdotal account of his variegated career.
Towne died shortly after his seventy-second birthday and was buried in Earlville, N. Y.
