Rebound in black buckram, lightly toned at text, else G+. Charles Caleb Colton, (1780-1832), poet and essayist, was an eccentric from the beginning, being more interested in hunting and fishing than in his clerical duties; he eventually went to London and became a wine merchant while living in a half-miserly style, spending most of his substance on gambling. Harassed by debt and frightened by his association with a convicted murderer, he left England in 1823, going first to the United States, then to Paris. He eventually settled in France and ultimately committed suicide in terror of a threatened surgical operation. His poems are of no interest, and he is best known for the present title, a collection of aphorisms, sayings, and short essays, mostly gathered from others. See British Authors of the Nineteenth Century, by Kunitz and Haycraft.
