Excerpt from Prospectus of the Literary Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft
Mr Bancroft was born at Granville, Ohio, in 1832. His parents were from New England, and he was early trained in all the stern doctrines of the Puri tans. Working on the farm during summer, and attending school in winter, the time passed by, until in his sixteenth year he went to Buffalo, and entered the store of a bookseller. There he remained four years, until 1852, when he was sent by his employer to Open a bookstore in California. The death of his patron disconcerted his plans, and it was not until 1856 that the, business was begun on Montgomery street, in San Francisco. Though extremely fond of books, he was a diligent man of business, and applied himself early and late to place his establishment in the first rank on the Pacific Coast. His habits of industry never left him, and when he entered the field of letters, he carried with him not only the pecuniary means essential to the achievement of great results, but those common-sense views which spring from practical business experience, and which literary men so often lack.
