Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Patchwork
Such volumes are generally a miscellaneous gathering of fragments, which the editor fancies, in a vague sort of way, will be amusing or edifying to the general public. Now as my detached pieces were brought together with no idea of pleasing anybody but myself, I hope they will have a more individual flavour, and so, in some measure, escape this very serious charge.

Excerpt from Patchwork
I do not know whether a reference to Dr. Johnson's Dictionary would show that a Commonplace-book is a book kept by a commonplace sort of person, but I should not be surprised if the Doctor had thought so, and, certainly, there is a very general opinion that collections of such scraps are mighty poor reading: in sustained and coherent interest not a whit better than the Doctor's own lexicon.

Now as my detached pieces were brought together with no idea of pleasing anybody but myself, I hope they will have a more individual flavour, and so, in some measure, escape this very serious charge.
I fear that I may annoy some readers, for, though I have taken pains, no doubt I have sorely maltreated many of the extracts, picked up, as they were, from all sorts of people, in all kinds of places, from the corners of newspapers, and such like.
