Book Description
Excerpt from Wise Saws and Modern Instances, Vol. 2 of 2 Those words odd, and singular, and cc centric, what odd, singular, eccentric sort of words they are, reader! How often they mean nothing, being thrown out, as descriptions of character, by drivelling Ignorance, who scrapes them up as the dregs, the mere siftings left at the bottom of his vocabulary, when he has expended his scant collee tion of more definite images-in-syllables. And how much more Often are they affixed to the memories of the living or dead, who have been real brothers among men, and have thus earned these epithets from jaun diced envy, or guilty selfishness, or heartless pride and tyranny. How little it commends to us, either our common nature, or such corrupt fashioning as ages of wrong have given it, that, if we would be come acquainted with a truly good man, a being to love and to knit the heart unto, we must seek for him among the class of character which the world - woe worth it 1 - calls Odd, or singular, or eccentric.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wise Saws and Modern Instances, Vol. 1 of 2 The Old Lincolnshire, so often mentioned in these simple pieces, and endeared to the writer of them by the associations of thirty years of his life, is likely soon to disappear before the social changes of that New Lincolnshire which railway civilis ation will summon into existence would that the manufacturing-misery of the modern Leicestershire, outlined in two or three uncoloured and painfully veritable pictures, might, as speedily, evanish!

Book Description
Excerpt from Sam Slick's Wise Saws and Modern Instances, or What He Said, Did, or Invented, Vol. 2 of 2 I paused a moment before knockin' at the door, to take a look at the scene before me. How familiar it looked! And yet how many things had happened to me since I was here! A mem 'ber of the embassy to London - eu Attache visitin' palaces, castles, country-seats and town houses. How will country galls in N ova-scotia look after well-dressed fashionable ladies to Eng land, that art has helped natur' to make handsome, and wealth held out the puss to, wide open, and said, Don't spare, for there's plenty more? The Town Hall to Slickville, that seemed so large afore I left, looked like nothin' when I came back, the Museum warn't as good as an old curiosity shop, and the houses looked as if the two upper storeys had been cut off.
