Introduction npHIS little Enchiridion, as its author called it, this compendium of cheerful rules for the conduct of life, has become so completely forgotten that London was scoured for a long time in vain before a copy could be found on which to base the present essay. Yet it was once, and for a long time continued to be, among the most popular of books.
