Excerpt from The Humours of DonegalAT the present moment when, with every muscle strained to snapping, the panting world is painfully intent on the hunt for happiness, I feel it is in opportune for a vagrant to set up his Merry-go round by the way, and with amazing impudence invite it to halt for an hour's frivolity.The wonderful progress of science in our age, I am informed, has discovered to our thinking ones that it is desirable to close up the well of merriment in men's bosoms and seal it with a double seal. The lovers of their kind have found it their duty to wander up and down the earth wailing, It is all barren! And, if the voice of a merrimaker hardened in his sins be lifted in any corner thereof, to troop instantly thitherward, with a View halloo! And -run the interloper to earth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
