Book excerpt: "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" (1853) is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December editions of Putnam's Magazine, and reprinted with minor textual alterations in 1856. Numerous essays are published on what according to scholar Robert Milder "is unquestionably the masterpiece of the short fiction" in the Melville canon. The narrator of "Bartleby the Scrivener" is the Lawyer, who runs a law practice on Wall Street in New York. The Lawyer begins by noting that he is an "elderly man," and that his profession has brought him "into more than ordinary contact with what would seem an interesting and somewhat singular set of men the law-copyists, or scriveners." While the Lawyer knows many interesting stories of such scriveners, he bypasses them all in favor of telling the story of Bartleby, whom he finds to be the most interesting of all the scriveners. Bartleby is, according to the Lawyer, "one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and, in his case, those were very small." One day, the Lawyer has a small document he needs examined. He calls Bartleby in to do the job, but Bartleby responds: "I would prefer not to." This answer amazes the Lawyer, who has a "natural expectancy of instant compliance." He is so amazed by this response, and the calm way Bartleby says it, that he cannot even bring himself to scold Bartleby. Instead, he calls in Nippers to examine the document instead.

Book excerpt: When I removed into the country, it was to occupy an old-fashioned farm-house, which had no piazza-a deficiency the more regretted, because not only did I likepiazzas, as somehow combining the coziness of in-doors with the freedom of outdoors, and it is so pleasant to inspect your thermometer there, but the countryround about was such a picture, that in berry time no boy climbs hill or crosses valewithout coming upon easels planted in every nook, and sun-burnt painters paintingthere. A very paradise of painters. The circle of the stars cut by the circle of themountains. At least, so looks it from the house; though, once upon the mountains, no circle of them can you see.

Seventy years since, from the heart of the Hearth Stone Hills, theyquarried the Kaaba, or Holy Stone, to which, each Thanksgiving, the social pilgrimsused to come. So long ago, that, in digging for the foundation, the workmen usedboth spade and axe, fighting the Troglodytes of those subterranean parts-sturdyroots of a sturdy wood, encamped upon what is now a long land-slide of sleepingmeadow, sloping away off from my poppy-bed.
