This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born on May 5, 1867 in Warner, New Hampshire, United States. He was the son of Walter and Addie C. (Morrill) Sargent, being descended on the paternal side from William Sargent, who emigrated from England and was in Ipswich, Massachussets, as early as 1633.
George Henry was educated in the schools of his native town, and, giving up his original intention of entering college, went West in 1887 and began his life work in journalism.
As a reporter he worked on the St. Paul Daily Pioneer Press, of which paper he was city editor from 1890 to 1895.
In the latter year he returned East, and joined the staff of the Boston Evening Transcript. In 1914, as the result of an illness which made it inadvisable for him to continue to live and work in the city, he left Boston, and thereafter made his home on his ancestral farm. He carried on his literary work there by correspondence, and through occasional visits to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, New Haven (where he delivered lectures on his special subject), and other cities, maintaining contact with book collectors and dealers.
He had many other interests in addition to those of journalism and bibliography, being active in the political affairs of his town and state, and directing the work of the New Hampshire farm where he lived.
During the years of his labors upon "The Bibliographer" department of the Boston Transcript, he never failed to have his articles - usually totaling two columns every Wednesday - ready on time.
He died early on a Wednesday morning, and the last installment of his work, mailed a day or two previously, appeared in the Transcript that evening.
He worked in Boston Evening Transcript as reporter, writer of special articles, and for over twenty-seven years as the writer of "The Bibliographer" department, every issue of which was from his own hand. He was, moreover, not merely a looker-on and a casual writer in the field of bibliography, his own collection of books being extensive and valuable. Among his published works, in addition to a number in pamphlet form, were The French Revolution and Napoleon in Literature and Caricature (1906), Amy Lowell, a Mosaic (1926), The Writings of A. Edward Newton, a Bibliography (1927), and A Busted Bibliophile and His Books (1928).

In face and stature he was the typical and gaunt New England Yankee. His friends and acquaintances were many, and everybody interested in bibliography, not only in the United States but also in England, looked upon him as a leading authority. He was an assiduous worker.
In 1889 he was married to Carrie Florence Dietz of Iowa City, Iowa, and it was largely due to her care that he was enabled to go on with his work through fifteen years of semi-invalidism.
