Excerpt from Extracts From the Note-Book of Mr. Percival Pug: Illustrated by Sketches From His Portfolio

In the following pages it has been the wish of the writer to convey sound moral and religious instruction. I have joined therewith a narrative illustrated with cuts, that the book might prove more attractive to the young: whether I have succeeded in joining instruction with amusement, I must leave others to judge. It requires, I conceive, that they should be united to form a good book; for the first alone will prove too dry for the generality of readers, and to read for entertainment, without improvement, is but a waste of time. It is worse than a waste.

The scenes exhibited in the engravings are, with one or two exceptions, representations of real occurrences which have taken place; though, perhaps, not precisely as related in the narrative.
