Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Manual of Laconics; Or Many Things for Many Minds: Selected From a Great Variety of Authors
This being remembered, the editor, in publishing a new volume of Laconics, cannot consider any apology to be necessary, or even becoming, towards that public which so kindly received, and that press which so warmly praised his former efforts. For, stimulated by that approval, and convinced by that welcome, as well as supported by his own inward conviction of the utility of his labours, he feels that he is performing an acceptable service, by pre paring for the world another series of Selected Ex tracts, which is meant to embrace and bring together the most brilliant sayings of the wittiest and the profoundest thoughts of the wisest of all nations and of every age.
