About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1873. Excerpt: ... FRENCH CHAOS. RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO DR. VERNON. Affable friend, --Once in my hearing you expressed sentiments to the effect that you were " fond of this sort of thing." Permit me, therefore, to present to you the following. If you read it, be kind enough to draw a pencil through those ideas which are unseemly. Spare not. Criticism is beneficial in proportion to its honesty. Delay your verdict, however, if you are laboring in a fit of indigestion. Your acumen is caustic enough naturally. At best, you may call it by its title, Chaos--very well, we will suppose you to be a judge of such, tor the same faculties that appreciate excellence capacitate their possessor to expound the opposite extreme. The ensuing lines--I hesitate to call them poetry--are, as it were, a sort of literary lava, ejected during a convulsion on one of the few green isles in life's unpacific ocean. Some time previously, having listened to the advice of a flinty utilitarian, I embarked in money-brewing speculations, and lost--three several ventures, gold, time, health and a "bosom friend, dearer than all." To keep the mind from following its losses, I allowed it to imbibe homoeopathic doses of imaginary bale. So fancy flitted away with fear and trembling into a woful hereafter, in order to escape from a worse here. Yet it is a sleezy respite, striving to express some consolation from the hard, acidulated rinds of wretchedness, and may add another to the innumerableinstances, whereby misery wins more to Heaven's antipodes than it saves. If this cimmerian monstrosity survives its incubation, I may gratify a taste for evil with some remaining acts; if not, you will spare me the disagreeable task of copying. To compose is delightful; it soothes " the aching void the world can never fill; ...
