Excerpt from Jest and Earnest, Vol. 2 of 2: A Collection of Essays and Reviews "An English Dictionary." How much is expressed in those three words. But wide as they are, there are three which are still wider - "The English Language." No dictionary can contain the English language; the most that the best can do is to attempt to exhibit a fair sample of the golden grain garnered in the storehouse of English speech. The English language - what a stately tree upheld by many roots! In that one tongue how many have merged their utterance. All the known races that have held this soil of Britain have left their mark behind them. First came the Britons.

Excerpt from Jest and Earnest, Vol. 1 of 2: A Collection of Essays and Reviews In the two sketches or squibs written in 1850 and 1851, after the manner of Herodotus, mirth was made of some statesmen for whom the writer has always felt great respect. This too must be forgiven, if any one should feel hurt after so long time at such freedom of speech; on the principle that where no harm is meant, no offence should be taken, and that, in politics at least, it is only possible to raise a hearty laugh against a very great man.
