Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Seer, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Common-Places Refreshed
The following Essays have been collected, for the first time, from such of the author's periodical writings as it was thought might furnish another publication similar to the Indicator. Most of them have been taken from the London Journal; and the remainder from the Liberal, the lilontkly Repository, the Tatterand the Round Table. The title, of course, is to be understood in its primitive and most simple sense, and not in its por tentous one, as connected with foresight and prophecy; nor would the author profess, intellectually, to see farther into a mill-stone than his betters. His motto, which thoroughly explains, will also, he trusts, vindicate all which he aspires to show; which is, that the more we look at anything in this beautiful and abundant world, with a desire to be pleased with it, the more we shall be rewarded by the loving spirit of the universe, with discoveries that await only the desire.
