Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Odds and Ends The favourable reception which ´Phases of My Life´ has met with must be my excuse for writing another volume, entitled ´Odds and Ends´ Should the reader of ´Odds and Ends´ detect any repetitions, which, so far as I know, I have endeavoured to avoid, I crave his indulgence. ´In Phases of My Life´ I give some ´variations´ of my surname by which I have from time to time been addressed, both verbally and by letter: Pigue, Peikew, Bigout, Peggue, Ligou, Picue, Pigoe, Puegou, Pico, Puggie, Pagan, Pickles. To these must now be added: Mr. Wigon (?), Pigoo, Pigun, Pugon, Pigwu, Pignou, Viego, and ´the Very of Rev. Piggon.´ These strike me as very ingenious. Whether they have been written, as the Irishman said, ´accidentally of purpose,´ I know not. Any letter addressed to me by any one of these ´variations´ is likely to reach me, but I take this opportunity of saying that I much prefer the original.
