  • # * The Author's aim has been to produce a reliable work of

reference as well as a chatty book. Not only are the citations given and their sources traced, but their story, with its ana and anecdote, is told in every case that occasion offers, thus forming a complete Musee de la Conversation.

The revision has been so stringent that the present Edition is practically

AN ENTIRELY NEW BOOK.
