A few years ago a portion of these sketches appeared, as a series of articles, in the columns of an illustrated contemporary. At the time the idea excited some interest and amusement, and was frequently plagiarised. Much correspondence arose out of the commentary one of the most distinguished scientists of the age — and a good calligraphist to boot — in acknowledging the j ustness of the strictures, regretted — in his case needlessly-that he was too old to mend. Other well-known personages desired a niche in the chirographic pantheon. Circum stances having caused a lengthy discontinuance of the series, it is now deemed preferable to publish the whole of the sketches in a volume — after thorough revision than to resume the original scheme.
