"Lyman Abbott described Silhouettes of My Contemporaries , published in 1921, as "a gallery of shadow pictures." In this volume he traces the careers of his contemporaries, including such figures as P. T. Barnum, Showman; Edwin Booth, Interpreter; and Henry Ward Beecher, Prophet of the Love of God; along with sixteen other great Americans of Abbott's era."
"This 1922 volume offers personal reminiscences of 19th-century luminaries by the Congregationalist theologian, editor and author."
