Excerpt from A Commonplace Book of Thoughts, Memories and Fancies, Original and Selected
For the rest, all those passages which are marked by inverted commas must be regarded as borrowed, though I have not always been able to give my authority. All passages not so marked are, I dare not say, original or new, but at least the unstudied expression of a free dis cursive mind. Fruits, not advisedly plucked, but which the variable winds have shaken from the tree: some ripe, some harsh and crude.

Excerpt from A Commonplace Book of Thoughts, Memories and Fancies, Original and Selected
I Must be allowed to say a few words in explanation of the contents of this little volume, which is truly what its name sets forth - a book of commonplaces, and nothing more. If I have never, in any work I have ventured to place before the public, aspired to teach, (being myself a learner in all things,) at least I have hitherto done my best to deserve the indulgence I have met with; and it would pain me if it could be supposed that such indulgence had rendered me presumptuous or careless.
For many years I have been accustomed to make a memorandum of any thought which might come across me - (if pen and paper were at hand), and to mark (and remark) any passage in a book which excited either a sympathetic or an antagonistic feeling. This collection of notes accumulated insensibly from day to day.
