There are many books of many kinds and this volume properly
classified would probably belong to the "sui generis," "sic trasit
gloria mundi" variety. If the reader has grown a little rusty on
classic Latin I do not mind saying to him further that the latter
phrase has been sometimes translated, "My glorious old aunt has
been sick ever since Monday," but I do not think that this revised
version has been generally accepted as strictly orthodox. This book
cannot be said to have been written without rhyme or reason for its
pages hold more rhyme than poetry and three reasons at least, have
conspired to give it literary existence. A hundred years and more
from now it may be that some far descendant of the author, while
fingering the musty shelves of some old library, may find some
modest satisfaction in the thought that his ancient sire had "writ"
a book.
