Synopsis
Excerpt from Treasury of Wisdom, Wit and Humor, Odd Comparisons and Proverbs
No merit is claimed by the compiler, except in producing a new com bination. For fifteen years past, during leisure hours, the broad field of literature has been culled for spirited excerpts upon all manner of topics, treated by all manner of men, in the hope that the volume may com mend itself to all manner of readers. A selvage of lighter humor and profounder wisdom has been added at the end of the volume as a fitting appendix. This fringe of sense and nonsense, like the tail of a coat, is perhaps not a necessary ornament, and yet the book seems incomplete without it. A. W.
