Excerpt from More Literary Recreations A measure of acceptance with which the little volume of Literary Recreation; was fortunate enough to meet has emboldened me to put out this further collection of jottings in a library. The pieces here collected, none of which has been printed before, were written, like those in the former volume, in occasional leisure from official duties, and make no claim other than may be founded on the hope that what has interested one Saunterer in a library may meet with sympathetic readers outside.
