Excerpt from A Century of Anecdote From 1760 to 1860, Vol. 1 of 2 The present work aims to be a collection of the best modem anecdote; but it has been particularly the object of the Editor to give the work a distinctive personal interest; and while it glances at striking events, the attractiveness of the historiette has been kept in view. The classification of the work into sections - of Court and Fashionable Life, Political life, Men of Letters, Law and Lawyers, Eccentric Persons, &c. - may be found acceptable to various classes of readers. The collection commencing with the witty sayings of George Selwyn, and the elegant persiflage of Horace Walpole, concludes with the best anecdotes of Coleridge, Sydney Smith, and Rogers.
