Reveries of a Woodsawyer; Or, "Sum" Slicings of Cord-Wood by Jonas Simpkins Pdf
Excerpt from Reveries of a Woodsawyer; Or, "Sum" Slicings of Cord-Wood: Being Serio-Comic Views of Life as It Is, as Taken From the Top of a Saw-Buck "'Sum' slicings of cord-wood," intends giving some "plain talking to" to all folks (and give all folks "something to talk about"), and consists of twenty-five, or more, different essays, so-called, giving in eccentric but truthful language "the private opinion publicly expressed" of the eggs-end-trick-wood-sawyer, Jonas Simpkins, on religion, political economy, mathematics, patents, business life, agriculture (?), Railroading, Nature, Capital, Labor, and many and various other subjects. These opinions were formed from silent meditations on the rounds of a well-worn saw-buck - over past sad (?) experience "in a long and eventful life." They are serio-comic views of things as they be photographed from memory's page for the benefit of "whom it may concern" - with a partial auto-biography interwoven - and 'awl-so' illustrations by a chip from another block. Being full of queer, unique, yet appropriate comparisons, and many quotations from authors learned and unlearned, viz.: street-preachers and bank-clerks, newspaper-carriers and peanut-women, an "Arp," a Byron, a Shakespeare, a Paul, a Jno. G. Saxe, a Beecher, a Jno. Quincy Adams, a Phillips, a "Doesticks," a "Billings," a "Twain," and the "world at large," it ain't "turned out all song," nor it ain't "turned out all sermon."
