Sunnyside Papers (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Sunnyside Papers

Encouraged by the fact that a bundle of Everyday Papers, which I published some eighteen months ago, reached, in a short time, a third edition, and received from the critics high praise - such praise as my fondest ambition had not even dreamed of - I beg respectfully to offer to the public another bundle, under the title of Sunnyside Papers.

If in calling them by this name, I am protesting too much, I must plead that the suggestion came from my kind critics, who were flatteringly unanimous in giving my Everyday Papers a character for "good humour." It is because I think the present papers have something of the same quality - if they have no other merit - that I venture to describe them as the essays of one whose nature disposes him to look upon the sunny side of things.

I have to express my hearty acknowledgments to Mr. Charles Dickens for permission - most cordially given - to reprint these sketches from the pages of All the Tear Round.
