Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners and Customs of Ye Englyshe Drawn From Ye Quick However, there flourilhed in a fomewhat later day a philofopher, for fuch he was after his fafhion, a virtuofo, antiquary, and whofe gholi an inconfiderable perfon may perhaps attempt to raife without being accufed of pretending to be too much of a conjuror. He appears to have been a Peripatetic, at leafl until he could keep a coach, but on the fubjeéts of drefs, dining, and fome others, his opinions favour firongly of Epicurifm. A little more than a hundred and eighty years ago he employed his leifure in going about everywhere, peeping into everything, feeing all that he could, and chronicling his experiences daily. In his Diary, which happily has come down to our times, the hif'corical facts are highly valuable, the comments moftly fenfible, the {1e is very odd, and the autobiography extremely ludicrous.' I have adventured reverently to evoke this worfhipful gentleman, that, refuming his old vocation as a journalifl, he might comment on the Manners and Cvf'coms of ye Englylhe in in the name of mr. Pips. I hope his fhadow, if not his fpirit, may be recognifed in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
