Book Description
Excerpt from Letters and Miscellanies in Prose, Rhyme, and Blank-Verse As for the critics, they may find it amusing to throw dust into other people's eyes, but we don't - gold dust more particularly; and as for making the fine eyes to sweeten their cream-o'-tartar visages, that's out of the question; cause why, it's much' easier for some folks to make ugly faces now-a - days, than pretty ones. And then, the supposition of their ever looking much beyond the title-page of one-half the books they undertake to praise or berate so unmercifully, is so refreshingly verdant, that it would be cruel to tan talize the locusts and caterpillars by any such preten sion! So, you see, there is no help for it - they will e'en have to abuse us to their heart's content; though our own private opinion (publicly expressed) is, that they will feel far more fatigued than satisfied, when they have done; for we intend to go right off to an insurance office, and then if we are killed with a criticism, it will be a matter for the stockholders to look into.

Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2: Prose and Verse Maginu's part in the matter has now to be narrated. Upon hearing of the assault on his publisher, he lost no time in avowing the authorship of the offensive review, and in intimating, in accordance with the usage of the period, that his friend Mr. Hugh Fraser was prepared to receive a message. A hostile meeting was arranged the combatants met in a field in the Barnet Road; and three shots were exchanged, at the last fire Maginu's bullet grazing the collar of his adversary's coat, and the bullet of the latter striking the ground beside Maginn's boot. Upon this third ineffectual exchange of shots, the account runs, the seconds interfered, and the parties, bowing to each other, left the ground without explanation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Early English Miscellanies, in Prose and Verse: Selected From an Inedited Manuscript of the Fifteenth Century To the above brief enumeration of the contents of the manuscript may be added the version of the amusing tale of the Friar and the Boy, printed in the following pages, pp. 46-62. Several copies of this poem have been preserved, and as they allvary considerably from each other, the present is worth preservation, as perhaps the least incorrect of any of the early manuscript copies known to exist. Another, preserved in ms. Cantab. Ee. Iv. 35, was printed by Mr. Wright, 181no, 1836. The story is well known, and was a common chap-book history, in a modernized form, until a veryreoent period.
