THE TEMPLE ANECDOTES will generally connect themselves with ond of 

 the names to which we are indebted for this progress and improvement. 

 Although we shall not always confine ourselves to the last forty years, or 

 even to the present century, our view will generally be to illustrate later 

 times in all their aspects of Literature, Art, and Science ; and we shall 

 therefore rarely carry our readers a hundred years back. 



Seeking always to entertain and instruct, we shall publish at regular 

 periods a volume which, opened at any page, will have something to 

 attract, while it leaves in the mind of the reader one or more of those 

 current coins of knowledge, without which no one can conveniently 

 mingle in the world. Taken as a whole, 



THE TEMPLE ANECDOTES, 



Banging over nearly every department of Human Knowledge, will, we 

 hope, form a sort of panoramic view of the History of English Civilization 

 3t and hitherto most important period.
