PREFACE My daughter asks me for a Preface to the following volumes; from a pardonable weakness she calls upon me for parental protection: but, in fact, the public judges of every work, not from the sex, but from the merit of the author. What we feel, and see, and hear, and read, affects our conduct from the moment when we begin, till the moment when we cease to think. It has therefore been my daughter's aim to promote, by...
Страница 42 - I'm only rowling a wisp of straw on my leg," replied Hosey. " Throw me up," added this paragon of postilions, turning to one of the crowd of idle bystanders. " Arrah, push me up, can't ye ?" A man took hold of his knee, and threw him upon the horse : he was in his seat in a trice ; then clinging by the mane of his horse, he scrambled for the bridle, which was under the other horse's feet — reached it, and, well satisfied with himself, looked round at Paddy, who looked back to the chaise-door at...
