Book Description
Excerpt from The Percy Anecdotes, Vol. 1 of 2 The present work is believed to comprise the most extensive collection of Anecdotes ever published in this country. The well known excellence of the Percy Anecdotes renders it unnecessary to make any remarks on that part of the work except that in revising the present edition, the editor has omitted none which appeared to possess particular interest for the public in the country. The American Anecdotes have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and will be found to relate to the most interesting characters, events, and scenes of our country. Most collections of Anecdotes are disfigured by profane language and broad allusions, or double entendres. The public are assured that there is nothing in the present publication to fiend the severest morality, or the most scrupulous delicacy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Percy Anecdotes: Original and Select Sholto and Reuben When the sentence was passed by the people, Aristides himself was present in the midst of them, and a stranger who stood near and could not write, applied to him to write for him in his shell. "What name!" asked the philosopher. "Aristides," replied the stranger. "Do you know him then?" said Aristides, "or has he in any way injured you?" "Neither," said the other, "but it is for this very thing I would he were condemned. I can go no where but I hear of Aristides the Just." Aristides enquired no farther, but took the shell, and wrote his name in it as desired. The absence of Aristides soon dissipated the apprehensions which his countrymen had so idly imbibed. He was in a short time recalled, and for many years after took a leading part in the affairs of the republic, without shewing the least resentment against his enemies, or seeking any other gratification than that of serving his country with fidelity and honour. His disregard for money was strikingly manifested at his death; for though he was frequently treasurer as well as general, he scarcely left sufficient to defray the expense of his burial. The virtues of Aristides did not pass without reward. He had two daughters, who were educated at the expense of the state, and got portions allotted them from the public treasury. Aristides being judge between two private persons, one of them declared that his adversary had greatly injured Aristides. "Relate rather, good friend," said he, interrupting him, "what wrong he hath done thee, for it is thy cause, not mine, that I now sit judge of."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Percy Anecdotes, Original and Select Mariana, in his History of Spain, relates that a countryman having killed Lucius Piso, the governor of the kingdom, was subjected to torture, in order to extort from him a confession of his confederates. He endured the first day's torments with invincible cou rage but, mistrusting himself on the second, he slipped out of the hands of the executioner as he was going to the rack, and dashed his head with such violence against a stone wall, that he died immediately. How honourable thus to sacrifice life, rather than to be forced, through extremity of pain, to disclose that.
