Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections, Political, Literary, Dramatic, and Miscellaneous, of the Last Half-Century, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing Anecdotes and Notices of Persons of Various Ranks, Prominent in Their Vocations, With Whom the Writer Was Personally Acquainted This information will not assume the formality of a continuous narrative. It will arise from a mass of anecdotes, descriptions of persons and things, events, incidents, conversations, and correspondences, with which, and in which, he who attempts to convey it has been mixed up, or With the chief actors in which he has been personally acquainted. It is submitted that this method of conveying intelligence will be at least as effective, and certainly more pleasing than the pretence of wisdom or the authority of dictation. The writer is aware of the force of example, he would rather enlighten by the analogy of precedent than the vehemence of precept.
