From the Easy Chair Vol. 2

From the Easy Chair Vol. 2 is a collection of essays and observations by George William Curtis, published in the late 19th century. Curtis, a prominent editor of Harper's Weekly and a founder of the American Republican Party, shares his insights on various social and political issues of his time. Notably, he was also a member of the New York Board of Education and had a significant influence on American thought during his era. This volume reflects his evolving views, particularly after his split from the Republican Party in the 1880s.
