O knihe

Excerpt from Wit, Wisdom and Folly: Pen and Pencil Flashes

Or feverish terror. Under such circumstances it has appeared to us that there was plenty of room for a wholesome work, which, satisfying the desultory reader by its varied topics and abundant illustrations, and conveying to him subject-matter interesting enough to rivet his attention and tickle his fancy, would, at the same time, now and then stir up his heart, light up his imagination, awaken his thought, furnish his mind, lift him up 'above mortal clay,' if only for a moment, and inspire him, perhaps, with noble aspirations. Hence this book - a mere collection of anas, some original, some culled from the past and the present, from all countries and people; a book recording rapidly, for the benefit of 'readers in a hurry,' the wit, or wisdom, or folly of ages.
