Click "free sample" to read the whole book. No need to purchase. "The best part of 'True Manliness,' the new volume of the 'Spare Minutes Series,' which is made up of extracts from the writings of Thomas Hughes - is that which was not intended to belong to it - namely, an autobiographical letter sent from the author to James Russel Lowell, who was to furnish a biographical sketch. This, the latter, justly concluding it was too good to be lost, printed, instead of making a compilation of its facts, and for this the public has reason to be grateful to him, though he professes to fear to meet Mr. Hughes after this so-called 'indiscretion.' This bit of frank and unaffected biography shows Mr. Hughes just the sort of boy and man the author of 'Tom Brown' would be expected to be, and the following selections which have been made with a careful hand bear out the same impression. The extracts are somewhat longer than those of other books of the series - they are alphabetically arranged by subjects....The book will attract all the more attention just now from Mr. Hughes's presence in this country."
