Excerpt from My Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 2 The curious legend connected with the birth of this Adopted Son, and the facts relating to his extraordinary career in after life, are derived from the Records of the French Police of the period. In this instance, and in the instances of those other papers in the present collection which deal with foreign incidents and characters, while the facts of each narrative exist in print, the form in which the narrative is cast is of my own devising. If these facts had been readily accessible to readers in general, the papers in question would not have been reprinted. But the scarce and curious books from which my materials are derived, have been long since out of print, and are, in all human probability, never likely to be published again.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3: Stories and Essays I pass over the dinner, which was doubtless very interesting to them, but very uninteresting to me, especially as I knew I was only stationed at the table to satisfy a scruple of society, and a dozen scruples of my precise relative. After the cloth was removed and the tea was brought up, they settled down to a regular evening at back-gammon, while I was left to amuse myself in a distant corner with my box of paints; and I did so by drawing highly-coloured caricatures of my aunt and her adorer. When I was tired of this sport, about nine o'clock at night. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 The various papers of which the following collection is composed, were most of them written some years since, and were all originally published - with many more, which I have not thought it desirable to reprint - in 'Household Words, ' and in the earlier volumes of 'All the Year Round.' They were fortunate enough to be received with favour by the reader, at the period of their first appearance, and were though worthy in many instances of being largely quoted from in other journals. After careful selection and revision, they are now collected in book-form; having been so arranged, in contrast with each other, as to present specimens of all the shorter compositions which I have contributed in past years to periodical literature.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 This purpose will be best accomplished by taking a brief survey of our principal authors, beginning from the remote age of Shakespeare. Tragedy is in it's nature more uniform than comedy, as it's object is passion rather than character, nor has the style adapted to it suffered much variation through a succession of ages.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 The Religious Sentiment, in its early periods, may be weak or strong, steady or wavering but its operation is, in each case, imperfect. N ot having gone through the process of tribulation, experience, and hope, it cannot have so much of love in it as to make it, what it may afterwards become, the perpetual feast of the spirit. It has so much of fear as to induce it to bind itself strictly to forms and it alternates with other sentiments, instead of intermingling with them all. God is then the object of intermitting regards. Religion is then a yoke; easy and light in comparison with slavery to Chance and Passion; but still a yoke. This is the state of the child who hides his face in his pillow while relating to his mother the transgressions and self-conquests of the day. This is the state of the youth whose heart leaps up at the golden sunrise, but who lets the gorgeous moments pass away because he dares not indulge himself with them till he has gone through his form of prayer; on rising from which, he finds the glow departed alike from his spirit and from the sky.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2: Prose and Verse Dear Sir, - As there appears to be a revived zeal for commentatorship on Shakspeare, I may be perhaps allowed to roll my tub among the rest; and the first service I wish to perform is to rid, or at least to give some reasons for ridding, all future editors of a superfluous swelling in the shape of Dr. Farmer's Essay on the Learning of Shakspeare, which has long been a regular encumbrance on the variorum editions. In the subjoined letter, if you will be so good as to print it, your readers, who I hope are in number equal to the whole reading public of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Colonies, - "From sunny Indus to the Pole, - will find my reasons for not thinking highly of the Master of Emmanuel, or his Shakspearian labours. The critical clique to which he belonged was peculiarly absurd; and we have only to cast a glance upon his face, as preserved in an engraving by Harding, to see that the feeble smirk of fatheaded and scornful blockheadism self-satisfied, with that peddling pedantry of the smallest order which entitled its possessor to look down with patronising pity on the loftiest genius, is its prevailing feature.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3 IN some of the treatises which make up this volume there are a few pages of bare outlines. They were intended to be fully clothed, orally, by the lecturer at the moment of delivery. Some readers may find fault with the editor because he has not expanded these outlines. His reply to all such is: his efforts to develop the author's meaning would have taken space from the author himself. It seemed best to publish one more rather than one less of the articles of Dr. Peck. After the three volumes planned have all been published, valuable papers of our lamented teacher will yet remain nu.
