Sydney Roberts, a Fellow of the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, is a 104 page collection of quotes and short passages, and sayings from throughout history, depicted in a journal format. A couple of examples: "The mischief of children is seldom actuated by malice; that of grown-up people always is." (Rivarol). "Under this sod lies John Round, Who was lost at sea and never found." (Old epitaph). Some of these are humorous, and sometimes thought provoking. They are accompanied by charming illustrations by S.W. Van Schaick. All the old favorites are here, both known, i.e. Lord Byron, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Pope, Shelley- and lesser known, i.e. Lessing, Spurgeon, Chatfield.This has been reprinted in a number of recent editions without the charm of this little volume.
