Excerpt from Eight or Nine Wise Words About Letter-WritingThe best subject, to begin with, is your friend's last letter. Write with the letter Open before you. Answer his questions, and make any remarks his letter suggests. Then go on to what you want to say yourself. This arrangement is more courteous, and pleasanter for the reader, than to fill the letter with your own invaluable remarks, and then hastily answer your friend's ques tions in a postscript. Your friend is much more likely to enjoy your wit, after his own anxiety for information has been satisfied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Some American writer has said “the snakes in this district may be divided into one species—the venomous.” The same principle applies here. Post-age-Stamp-Cases may be divided into one species, the “Wonderland.” Imitations of it will soon appear, no doubt: but they cannot include the two Pictorial Surprises, which are copyright.You don‟t see why I call them „Surprises‟? Well, take the Case in your left-hand, and regard it atten-tively. You see Alice nursing the Duchess‟s Baby? (An entirely new combination, by the way: it doesn‟t occur in the book.) Now, with your right thumb and forefinger, lay hold of the little book, and suddenly pull it out. The Baby has turned into a Pig! If that doesn‟t surprise you, why, I suppose you wouldn‟t be surprised if your own Mother-in-law suddenly turned into a Gyroscope!
