Excerpt from Anecdote Lives of Wits and Humourists, Vol. 1 IF you love your readers, and wish to be read, get aneo dotes, is the sagacious advice to authors, in a contemporary critical journal and a kindred sense of the interest as well as the value of this species of reading has encouraged the production of the present volumes. Their immediate object is to collect and arrange, in the most entertaining as well as serviceable form, the salient points in the Lives of some of the leading Wits and Humorists who had adorned our literature. The advantages of such a plan have been thus enforced by one of the greatest masters, in saying that, Abstracts, abridgments, summaries, &c., have the same use with burn ing-glasses, - to collect the diffused rays of wit and learning in authors, and make them point with warmth and quickness upon the reader's imagination.1' The economy of the plan need not be insisted upon; if we are to trust the adage - that the wit of one is the wisdom of many.
