The following interesting account of Mr. LANMAN is taken from " Good Literature : "
An interesting account of the life and works of Hon. CHARLES LANMAN, of Washington, is printed in a recent number of the Turf, Field, and Farm. "Many years ago," it says, "Wash- ington Irving christened his friend and brother of the quill, Mr. CHARLES LANMAN, as 'the picturesque explorer of America,' a sobriquet highly gratifying to the author and artist, whose works, both of pen and pencil, are familiar to American sports- men. Mr. CHARLES LANMAN was born in Monroe, Mich., June 14, 1819, and received his education in Connecticut, after which he spent nearly ten years in New York city as a merchant's clerk, He was subsequently connected with several of the leading newspapers in various cities of the Union - notably the Chron- icle, of Cincinnati; Express of New York; National Intelli- gencer, of Washington, and such foreign journals as the News and Athenæum, of London. This association with literary men and the most prominent journals of the day finally led to the vocation of authorship, in which he was equally successful.

LANMAN.
Here he had ample opportunity to embellish with the skill of the artist those wild scenes of forest, lake and stream so charm ingly described by his pen. This happy combination of talen- obtained for him the well merited appellation given by Irving. A natural love for field sports, and more particularly the 'con- templative art' of angling, lured Mr. LANMAN from the dingy city to the quiet of the woods and waters, where his fancy found play, and his rod might be used to advantage. He was the first American to cast the artificial fly in the Saguenay region, and to describe the charms of that since famous locality for the angler. Two large volumes - 'The Wild Sports of America ; - descriptive of scenery and sport in the wilderness, among the trout-streams, lakes, etc., from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, attest his varied experience. Salmon-fishing has been his favor- ite sport, and in former years it was his custom to visit Canada each season. For a period of thirty years he fished regularly on the Potomac, often with such companions as Daniel Webster, Mr. Crampton, Governor Bibb and General Gibson. * * He has fished in nearly every State in the Union, and all the best streams in Canada, never failing to use his sketching materials, and his illustrations of American scenery may be counted by the hundred. Mr. LANMAN's public carcer is a matter of history. He has held the several positions of Librarian of the War Department, of Copyrights in the State Depart- ment as also of the Interior Department and the House of Repre- esentatives. In ante bellumn days he was the private secretary of Daniel Webster, and at the head of the Returns office in the In- terior Department. For ten years past he has been the American secretary of the Japanese Legation, a very responsible position, requiring experience and critical judgment. His books of travel and adventure have been the most popular, but the 'Dictionary of Congress ' and ' Annals of the Civil Government of the United States,' proved the most profitable, as he received $15,000 from the Government for the first-named alone, and subsequently sold the valuable collection of antograph letters from statesmen and orators relating to the works for $5,000. His 'Life of Daniel Webster' was also a success, both in a literary and financial point of view. The home of the artist, author and

angler, at Georgetown, D. C., is unique in style - a picturesque house, flanked by a flower garden and lawn of real artistic beauty. His home is a veritable museum of curiosities, in art, literature, field-sports, and bric-a-brac. On the walls are many pictures in oil and water-colors, several of them the work of his brush. In portfolios, carefully packed away, are numerous original sketches, in oil, by Mr. LANMAN, of American scenery and sport, ranging from the provinces to Florida. The well- stored library of some 3000 volumes contains a large number of valuable autograph copies from brother authors, and a little nook, which he fondly terms his curiosity-shop, is literally filled with artificial flies, rods, reels and relics of former angling days. In the way of oriental books, pictures, etc., he has a remarkable store, including a three-volume edition of Japanese poetry, published nearly nine hundred years ago, which would be a most invaluable work to the bibliomaniac. The surroundings of Mr. CHARLES LANMAN are suggestive of the literary and artistic taste which is characteristic of the man, and his love of angling is by no means impaired by years, though he has given up the more laborious sports of the field. His round of busy life, though exacting, leaves him leisure for enjoying such luxury as may be found in books, the society of friends and 'ye rare old sporte of ye angle.'" Mr. LANMAN's new work, lately issued, entitled 'The Leading Men of Japan,' is published by D. Lothrop & Co., of Boston. Mr. LANMAN'S late work, entitled 'Curious Characters and Pleasant Places,' published by Douglas of Edinburgh, has been well received in England. The Athenaeum says that it is "written in an nnaffected style and with a good taste which his more cultured countrymen must admire, and which others have full reason to envy;" and also that the papers "leave upon their readers a pleasant feeling for their author." The Saturday Review pays Mr. LANMAN the compliment of saying he "has written a pleasant and instructive volume, in a quiet and faithful style, never trying to be funny, epigrammatic, brilliant or fine, but conscientiously noting down all that he has seen and knows." The Academy, after comparing him with Washington Irving, on the score of his possessing a "pleasant old world style" of writing, speaks of this new
