Excerpt from Arthur Ellerslie: Or, the Brave Boy Whether the bird s, who heard them from their green home over his head, warbled them in the ears of the writer, or whether he heard them himself, is of no consequence at all to the reader.

This I know: whoever reads them will say that my uncle Toby is not to be sneezed at as a poor story teller; but that his stories are capital, and ought to be read by all the boys and girls in the world.
