Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of Literature, and the Literary Character Illustrated: With the Curiosities of American Literature Every class of readers requires a book adapted to itself and that book which interests, and perhaps brings much new information to a multitude of readers, is not to be contemned, even by the learned. More might be alleged in favour of works like the present than can be urged against them. They are of a class which was well known to the ancients. The Greeks were not without them; the Romans loved them under the title of Varia Eruditio; and the Orientalists, more than either. Were passionately fond of these agreeable collections. The fanciful titles, with which they de corated their variegated miscellanies, sufliciently express their delight.
