Excerpt from The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent, Vol. 2 He has commonly a broad, full face, curi ously mottled with red, as if the blood had been forced by hard feeding into every vessel Of the skin he is swelled into jolly dimensions by frequent potations Of malt liquors, and his bulk is still further increased by a multiplicity Of coats, in which he is buried like a cauli flower, the upper one reaching to his heels. He wears a broad-brimmed, low-crowned hat a huge roll Of colored handkerchief about his neck, knowingly knotted and tucked in at the bosom; and has in summer-time a large bou quet Of flowers in his button-hole the present, most probably, Of some enamored country lass. His waistcoat is commonly Of some bright color, striped, and his small-clothes extend far below the knees, to meet a pair iockey-boots which reach about half way up his legs.

The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., commonly referred to as The Sketch Book, is a collection of 34 essays and short stories written by American author Washington Irving. Published serially throughout 1819 and 1820, and was published in one volume in 1894 by Altemus' Bookbindery. The collection includes two of Washington's best-known stories, attributed to the fictional Dutch historian Diedrich Knickerbocker, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." It also marks Irving's first use of the pseudonym "Geoffrey Crayon," which he would continue to employ throughout his literary career.Apart from "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" - the pieces which made both Irving and The Sketch Book famous - other tales include "Roscoe", "The Broken Heart", "The Art of Book-making", "A Royal Poet", "The Spectre Bridegroom", "Westminster Abbey", "Little Britain", and "John Bull", His stories were highly influenced by German folktales[1] , with "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" being inspired by a folktale recorded by Karl Musäus.Stories range from the maudlin (such as "The Wife" and "The Widow and Her Son") to the picaresque ("Little Britain") and the comical ("The Mutability of Literature"), but the common thread running through The Sketch Book - and a key part of its attraction to readers - is the personality of Irving's pseudonymous narrator, Geoffrey Crayon. Erudite, charming, and never one to make himself more interesting than his tales, Crayon holds The Sketch Book together through the sheer power of his personality - and Irving would, for the rest of his life, seamlessly enmesh Crayon's persona with his own public reputation.

Excerpt from The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent: Together With Abbotsford and Other Selections From the Writings of Washington Irving A word should be added in regard to the use of the Topics for Study which follow the text. They are in no sense outlines or analyses of the contents Of' the essays; outlines should be prepared by the students themselves under the guidance of the instructor, for an analysis furnished, or sug gested, usually proves a substitute for individual work. The topics for study hold, however, a close relation with outline or analysis; and the detailed study of special topics should guide each one through his own work to an understanding Of the plan of the essay and an appreciation of the literary means employed to give it orderly arrangement and charm. The teacher in his own preparation for the classroom will parallel the preliminary work of the editor; after which the study topics will serve as tests of the work planned and will suggest questions for discussion. They should also aid pupils in the preparation Of lessons by stimulating alert attention and interest in the reading of the text, and by emphasizing points of significance in the content or the literary form of the essay under consideration. The use of the technical terms of narrative art has been avoided where possible. The pupils for whom this edition is designed are reading for the sake of the literature itself, and they slip, too easily, on the least excuse, into the formalities of text-book distinctions, without appreciation of the mean ing intended. Literature should be opened to their under standings as a storehouse of treasures to be enjoyed at will; as a foreign land wherein one wanders with friendly and companionable guides; as a return to past ages, and a min gling in vanished scenes, recreated by the magic pen of the man of letters. Unless these topics for study, arranged in seeming routine for the classroom, contribute to this end, they will fail of the result to further which they have been written.
