Excerpt from Reminiscent Gossip of Men and Matters An inconsequential book, following no order, mere gossip, personal and literary, of scenes and incidents. A book to be opened at any page, but in that page the reader should find incident or reminiscence to excite interest. "Our bending author hath pursued his story In a little room confining mighty men." So runs the couplet printed on the title page. The author doth indeed bend, to the storm of criticism he is likely to incur for so orderless a book. But the "little room, " the book, slight as it is, does confine mighty men, how many famous men, and famous women whom I have met, appear in its pages, what a wealth of noted historic incidents, that give occasion for gossip from intimate observation, and the gossips range from the deepest thought to the flippant pun. Glimpses, snatches, stories, incidents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
