This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1808 edition. Excerpt: ...6$ should not be very open to imposition." But they are good bargain makers," rejoined the 'squire; " 1 never heard of one yet, who did not come pretty close upon us in that, way." " Which doubtless (if there is any truth in thy observation) arises from the characteristic trait just mentioned," returned Mrs. P. " Some moralists have said that the extremes of virtue verge on the borders of vice; and in respect of these two, I am inclined to be of that opinion: and it behoves those remarkable for their prudence and circumspection, to beware of deceit and unjust suspicion." " Go on, madam, if you please,'.' said Mr. Bustle, " I ask pardon for interrupting you so often." Mrs. Placid was about to proceed, when Miss Finakin declared she was almost dead with the horrid roughness of the road, and expressed her surprise at what could have occasioned it.--" We have gone on so smoothly within," observed the 'squire," that 1 have felt nothing of the roughness without. O!" said he, looking out of the window, " 'tis only the road mended with large stones, which want a little rubbing down." "Pray, then, request the man to drive a little slower," said Miss F. " or I shall absolutely die with fatigue." " I wish," observed Mrs. Placid, " thou wouldest not accustom thyself to such strong expressions; they are very unseemly, as well as improper: reflect a moment on the absurdity of saying thou 64 THE PIG! THE PIG! must die with fatigue in passing over a few rough stones."--" The lady," remarked the collegian, " has thought so much of miseries, that 'tis no wonder she should imagine one in a few rough stones:" then...

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
