International Vanities (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from International Vanities
The accidents of occupation lead us sometimes into Odd byways, where, in looking for one thing, we find another.
These chapters are a product of this sort of wandering. They have floated to the surface of other work, and have been skimmed off it as they rose.
With such an origin, they can have no preten sion to be more than sketches; they do not seek to teach, but simply to draw attention to some half unperceived yet not unamusing forms of vanity.
No authorities are quoted; the reason being that footnotes and lists of reference present a mask of learning which would be out of place here.
