Excerpt from English Eccentrics: And Eccentricities Many books of character have been published which have recorded the acts, sayings, and fortunes of Eccentrics. The instances in the present Work are, for the most part, drawn from our own time, so as to present points of novelty which could not so reasonably be expected in portraits of older date. They are motley-minded and grotesque in many instances; and from their rare accidents may be gathered many a lesson of thrift, as well as many a scene of humour to laugh at while some realize the well-remembered couplet or the near alliance of wits to madness. A glance at the Table of Contents and the Index to this volume will, it is hoped, convey a fair idea of the number and variety of characters and incidents to be found in this gallery of english eccentrics. It should be added, that in the preparation of this Work, the Author has availed himself of the most trustworthy materials for the staple of his narratives, which, in certain cases, he has preferred giving 7157622: of his authorities to re-writing them, as it is termed a process which rarely adds to the veracity of story-telling, but, on the other hand, often gives a colour to the incidents which the origi nal narrator never intended to convey. The object has been to render the book truthful as well as enter taining. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
