Book Description
Excerpt from Fact and Fancy Almost every day some trivial incident reveals to a lover of children a new, grand truth about child nature. It is as true of children as of adults that they are controlled by many general rules; it is truer, that the differences in the individual characters of children must be studied to foster the best and crush the worst instincts.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fact, Fancy, and Fable In the words of John Dryden, "Some will think this book needs no excuse, and others will receive none;" but for those who belong to neither class, and who judge the work on its merits, a few words of introduction and explanation seem necessary. Not the least of the problems connected with the compilation of a work having a distinct plan, and bearing such a title as "Fact, Fancy, and Fable," is to decide what to admit and what to exclude. Occasionally there must needs be a deviation from the set rule; yet in the main the lines of selection will be found to be clearly laid down and closely adhered to. Approximately, our "Fact" embraces Americanisms, Memorable Days, Pseudonyms, Political Nomenclature, Foreign Words and Sentences, and Contractions and Abbreviations; "Fancy" deals with Personal Sobriquets and Nicknames of all kinds, and with Familiar Phrases and Folk-Sayings; while the realm of the purely mythological belongs to "Fable." The wholly fictitious characters of satires and novels and of romance and poetry, which consume so large a portion of the works of Wheeler and Brewer, and must ever be of secondary popular interest, have been reserved for a future compilation, should the same be deemed advisable. Only where a nominally fictitious character is a portraiture or a burlesque of a real personage has the reference been admitted here. A glance at the scheme of "Fact, Fancy, and Fable," outlined on the titlepage, will enable the reader to form some idea of the scope of the work. Briefly stated, the aim of the author has been to amass a great amount of useful or curious information which has hitherto been either inaccessible to the general reader or so widely scattered among a score or more of different volumes as to be practically unattainable when most needed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Love and Life of Fact and Fancy Woven Certain facts had come to my knowledge, which seemed to me to possess a distinct social value and significance. In leisure moments, while crossing the Atlantic, in railway cars, while sailing the Swiss lakes or the Scandinavian fjords, on the verandas of hotels, I wove the gossamer thread of fancy thru the woof of fact, and the result are these humble but I hope useful stories. I owe this explanation not to the public, but to my esteemed professional colleagues - whose good-will I would not forfeit for any literary laurels - who might think that it is not quite the proper thing for a physician of some eminence to spend - perhaps they would say, waste - his time in writing stories.
