Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 The various papers of which the following collection is composed, were most of them written some years since, and were all originally published - with many more, which I have not thought it desirable to reprint - in 'Household Words, ' and in the earlier volumes of 'All the Year Round.' They were fortunate enough to be received with favour by the reader, at the period of their first appearance, and were though worthy in many instances of being largely quoted from in other journals. After careful selection and revision, they are now collected in book-form; having been so arranged, in contrast with each other, as to present specimens of all the shorter compositions which I have contributed in past years to periodical literature.
