When they re offered to the world in merry guise. Unpleasant truths are swallowed with a will; .F or he whod make his fellow-creatures wiseS hould always gild the philosophic pill. W. S. Gilbert, Bah Ballads. The following pages constitute an attempt to disprove an almost universal fallacy that, in the Art of I nnkeeping, there is no other mentor than experience. But experience founded on ignorance of what we have to learn reminds us of the countryman who looked for his ass while he was mounted on its back. For, indeed, there is so much to digest that, unless we direct our efforts aright, a lifetime is insufficient to enable us to avoid missing our opportunities. The need for knowledge and learning is obvious to the Public, if unacknowledged by the Trade, but the exposition is another matter. And when one attempts to appeal to theB rewer, theL icensee, and the Tyro, all at the same time, one is tempted to cry in distress, with Mrs. Malaprop, You are not like Cerberus, three gentlemen at once, are you Hence, to quote again from the inimitable phrases of that estimable lady, if you find my opinions as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of theN ile, and if you fail to find my work A progeny of learning, make it the excuse for a glass, for you may find it as dry as dust. Here sa health to every friend Who can struggle to the end.
