Excerpt from The Treasury of Modern Anecdote: Being a Selection From the Witty and Humorous Sayings of the Last Hundred Years Another feature of the work is the classification to which the Aneo dotes have been subjected, those on Men of Letters, or Men of Society, or Lawyers, or Actors, and so on, having been grouped together on a plan which will be appreciated by the reader. Further than this, the Anecdotes relating to particular individuals have been brought together and carefully arranged after a system which, it is hoped, will be equally useful and agreeable.
