MODERN ANECDOTES: A Treasury of Wise and 

 Witty Sayings of the last Hundred Years. Edited, 

 with Notes, by W. DAVENPORT ADAMS. Crown 8vo. 

 Price 3s. 6d. 



The Anecdotes are all authenticated and are classed into 

 Sections /. Men of Society. II. Lawyers and the Law. III. 

 Men of Letters. 1 V. Plays and Players. V. Statesmen and 

 Politicians. VI. The Church and Clergy. VII. People in 

 General. 



In compiling a work like this, Mr. Adams has steadily kept 

 in view the necessity of ministering to the requirements of those 

 who will not read anecdotes unless they have reason to know 

 that they are really good. On this principle the entire editorial 

 work has been executed. The book is also a particularly 

 handsome one as regards printing, paper, and binding.

forefathers three hundred years ago.
