Early and Late Papers Synopsis

Excerpt from Early and Late Papers: Hitherto Uncollected

Several years ago, when the author of these papers visited America, he, had the pleasant habit of quoting to his friends phrases, and sometimes long paragraphs, from his earlier contributions to the English periodicals; and when asked why he had not included these magazine articles among his other miscellanies, he replied, They are small potatoes, adding, at the same time, but pretty good small potatoes, I believe. The collector of these Thackeray-valuables remembers also when he begged the author to bring together his scat tered contributions to Fraser and Punch, he replied: Do it yourself, mon amt' write the preface, and I'll stand by you.
