Tales and Fantasies

Description

Excerpt from Tales and Fantasies John varey nicholson was stupid; yet, stupider men than be are now sprawling in Parliament, and landing themselves as the authors of their own dis tinction. He was of a fat habit, even from boy hood, and inclined to a cheerful and cursory read ing of the face of life; and possibly this attitude of mind was the original cause of his misfortunes. Beyond this hint philosophy is silent on his career, and superstition steps in with the more ready ex planation that he was detested of the gods.
