Ten-Minute Talks on All Sorts of Topics: With Autobiography of the Author (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from Ten-Minute Talks on All Sorts of Topics: With Autobiography of the Author

A few words of preface or explanation may be proper and expected in regard to the character and object of this volume. Almost a generation has passed since the last book of the author was issued in this country. None of the dozen volumes which he wrote in England in this interval have been republished here, or have had any considerable circulation in the United States. About twenty-five years ago a small volume, containing some of his earliest writings, and called "Sparks from the Anvil," was received with much favor by the public, and had a pretty wide reading. The book herewith given to the public contains a selection of short papers on a larger variety of topics, and written mostly in England for a little monthly edited by the author, together with several articles contributed to the press in this country since his return from Europe. He has thought that some of the readers of his earliest productions might be interested in seeing his later views and sentiments on similar and other questions.
