Sinopsis

Excerpt from Earnest Willie, or Echoes From a Recluse: Containing the Letters, Poems, Addresses and Sketches Chiefly Moral and Religious With Bits of Laughing Humor, Smiling Fancy and Tender Sentiment Everywhere

The wonder is, I have often thought, that, knowing so little, I have been enabled to do anything at all, or catch, even, in a limited sphere, the ear and heart of a onerous people. Hence, Judge Critic and Dr. Analyzer: who would erect some lofty, classical standard by which to judge and measure the - merit of all books, are kindly and respectfully invited to turn their anxious eyes and look another way.

Conventionalities, and all things staid and formal, are dis regarded. Good cheer, earnestness, heart and soul - these things are magnified.

While this book is in no sense a biography, yet I have dipped my untutored pen in the deep wells of unique trial and sweet, happy experience, and out of my heart I have written.
