Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Shuttlecock Papers: A Book for an Idle Hour In collecting the following reprints I have merely attempted to compile "a book for an idle hour." There is no lofty "purpose" about the volume, neither has it any important "mission:" it is simply intended to amuse. If, concealed within the jam of amusement, may be discovered a few grains of the powder of instruction, I sincerely trust I may be pardoned. I have endeavoured to so thickly gild the pill of knowledge that its bitterness will be almost imperceptible. The papers were originally written in all sorts of places, at home and abroad, during a shuttlecock existence in which I was knocked about by the battledore of circumstance during the last three years. If these fugitive writings, now that they have assumed the toga virilis of book-hood, should ever find their way back to their birthplaces and be the means of there whiling away dull moments, I shall indeed be glad.
