Excerpt from The Wanderings of a Pen and Pencil It was deemed requisite by the Publisher to accompany the pages with something by way of a Preface to the whole; but in truth the nature of the book is so readily understood by a general reader and the plan of the narration is worked out with such entire simplicity (the chapters throughout haying a strong family likeness to each other, ) that little presents itself to our conception, but the presentation of a mere formal Introduction to those who always take interest in compositions of a similar nature; that is, such as relate to stray antiquities, and the chequered events which cling to the path of pilgrims seeking the relics and legends of a remote and by-gone period. Many observations, items, and statements are woven in our text which may bear contradiction from the more learned of the brethren, or, at the worst, provoke critical vehemence and disparagement. We do not apologise, or intend to apologise, for such a condition of the mutual production. From the beginning of the story to the end we went onward as gossiping adventurers, and as cheerful health-seeking sight-seeing travellers. Something we accomplished for our own profit and intellectual gratification - something we did for a profit and good example to others. We never wrote "Pundit or "Moonshee" upon the wallet after our sociable initials, or gave wise or simple folks reason to believe we were any thing else than inquisitive, persevering wayfarers, who often went by lanes and intricate roads, when the Queen's highway would have abbreviated the toil, and who were sometimes to be seen leaning over a mossy well, or a stale newspaper, and often brooding over green fonts, and crypts, of climbing stone, when it would have rendered more justice to the cookery of our tavern host for us to have been just as near to the soup kettle, or enveloped in the odorous vapour of the roasted capon, and its wholesome cottage accompaniments. We pray that no one may hunt us into our home of tranquillity, with the misconception that we have peculiar opinions about Ogham stones, coal, coins, or the singular profane carvings in country churches, and the like.
