Description
A VERY wise man has said, "There is nothing new under the sun," and this seems fatally true in the matter of collections of anecdotes. All the good sayings given in this volume lave appeared in print before; all the curiosities are gathered from printed sources. Like the dapper little gentleman in Washington Irving's Art of Bookmaking, I have dipped into a variety of books; fluttered over endless pages; taken a morsel out of one, a morsel out of another, line upon line-here a little, there a little. In fact, the contents of this little volume are as motley and hetero- geneous as the witches' caldron in Macbeth--here a finger and there a thumb, toe of frog and blind-worm's sting, with my own gossip poured in as "baboon's blood," to make the medley "slab and good."
