Excerpt from Fairburn's Cabinet of Instruction and Amusement: Containing the Histories of Soloman Serious and His Dog Pompey, Master and Miss. Gracemore, Master Bentley, Amanda, or Virtue Rewarded, The Life of Mr. Thomas Thoroughgood, Helim, An Eastern Tale, The Basket Maker, The Hermit Little Solomon Serious, the hero of this history, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Serious, a happy couple, who possessed a small farm, pleasantly situated on the banks of the River Thames, near Richmond. When Little Solomon was a month old, his parents resolved to have him christened, and a day being appointed for that purpose, many of the neighbours were invited to see the ceremony performed. In the afternoon, before they carried him to church, a dispute arose about what his name should be, and continued for some time, but was ended by the nurse observing, that he had not once laughed since his birth. This all the company agreed was a great sign of wisdom, and it was therefore determined to give him the name of Solomon.
