Excerpt from The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, Vol. 1 of 3 For my own part, I do not hesitate to say that I do not think letters of this kind ought to be published at all; and though it may seem paradoxical or foolish, I am by no means sure that, if they are published, they ought to be admitted as evidence. That which is not written for the public, is no business of the public's and I never read letters of this kind, published for the first time, without feeling like an eavesdropper.ale Un luckily, the evidence furnished by the letters fits in only too well with that furnished by the published works, by his favourite cronies and companions, and by his general reputation, so that what the prisoner says must, no doubt, be used against him.

Excerpt from The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman: & A Sentimental Journey, Vol. 1 of 2 If it had not been for these two mettlesome tits, and that madcap of a postilion who drove them from Stilton to Stamford, the thought had never entered my head. He flew like lightning: - there was a slope of three miles and a half; - we scarcely touched the ground - the motion was most rapid, - most impetuous; - 'twas communicated to my brain, my heart partook of it. - 'By the great God of day, ' said I, looking towards the Sun, and thrusting my arm out of the fore-window of the chaise, as I made my vow, 'I will lock up my study-door the moment I get home, and throw the key of it ninety feet below the surface of the earth, into the draw-well at the back of my house. The London waggon confirmed me in my resolution; it hung tottering upon the hill, scarcely progressive, dragged - dragged up by eight heavy beasts, - 'by main strength!' - quoth I, nodding; 'but your betters draw the same way, - and something of everybody's - O rare!' Tell me, ye learned, shall we for ever be adding so much to the bulk, - so little to the stock? Shall we for ever make new books, as apothecaries make new mixtures, by pouring only out of one vessel into another? Are we for ever to be twisting and untwisting the same rope! for ever in the same track, - for ever at the same pace? Shall we be destined, to the days of eternity, on holy-days as well as working days, to be showing the relics of learning, as monks do the relics of their saints - without working one - one single miracle with them?

Excerpt from The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gent, Vol. 1 It is in pure compliance with this humor of theirs, and from a backwardness in my nature to disappoint anyone soul living, that I have been so very particular already. As my life and opinions are likely to make some noise in the world, and, if I conjecture right, will take in all ranks, professions, and denominations of men whats ever, be no less read than the Pilgrim's Progress itself, and, in the end, prove the very thing which Montaigne dreaded in his Essays should turn out, that is, a book for the parlor - window; I find it necessary to consult every one a little in his turn; and therefore must beg pardon for going on a little farther in the same way: for which cause right glad I am that I have begun the history of myself in the way I have done; and that I am able to go on, tracing every thing in it, as Horace says, a?) oeo. Horace, I know, does not recommend this fashion altogether: but phat gentleman is speaking only of an epic poem, or a tragedy - (i forget which besides, if it was not so, I should beg Mr. Horace's pardon; for in writing what I have set about, I shall confine myself neither to his rules, nor to any man's rules that ever lived.
