TAILIEUCHUNG - The Autocra - Of The Breakfast Table (dodo Press) By Oliver Wendell Holmes

In taking the old name for the new papers, he felt bound to say that he had uttered unwise things under that title, and if it shall appear that his unwisdom has not diminished by at least half while his years have doubled, he promises not to repeat the experiment if he should live to double them again and become his own grandfather | The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table Oliver Wendell Holmes DODO I WI PRESS THE AUTOCRAT S AUTOBIOGRAPHY The interruption referred to in the first sentence of the first of these papers was just a quarter of a century in duration. Two articles entitled The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table will be found in the New England Magazine formerly published in Boston by J. T. and E. Buckingham. The date of the first of these articles is November 1831 and that of the second February 1832. When The Atlantic Monthly was begun twenty-five years afterwards and the author was asked to write for it the recollection of these crude products of his uncombed literary boyhood suggested the thought that it would be a curious experiment to shake the same bough again and see if the ripe fruit were better or worse than the early windfalls. So began this series of papers which naturally brings those earlier attempts to my own notice and that of some few friends who were idle enough to read them at the time of their publication. The man is father to the boy that was and I am my own son as it seems to me in those papers of the New England Magazine. If I find it hard to pardon the boy s faults others would find it harder. They will not therefore be reprinted here nor as I hope anywhere. But a sentence or two from them will perhaps bear reproducing and with these I trust the gentle reader if that kind being still breathes will be contented. - It is a capital plan to carry a tablet with you and when you find yourself felicitous take notes of your own conversation. - - When I feel inclined to read poetry I take down my Dictionary. The poetry of words is quite as beautiful as that of sentences. The author may arrange the gems effectively but their fhape and luftre have been given by the attrition of ages. Bring me the fineft fimile from the whole range of imaginative writing and I will fhow you a fingle word which conveys a more profound a more accurate and a more eloquent analogy. - - Once on a time
