Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recollections of a Humourist: Grave and Gay
During my life I have had the opportunity of coming across all sorts and conditions of men.
I trust that my experiences will prove a source of amusement, and even of instruction, to those kind enough to follow them. If unamusing and uninstructive pages are discovered, they may be set down, with the author's sanction, as the grave part of the volume.
It has been a great delight to me to write this book. I venture to pray that it will give equal pleasure to those who read it.
