“As odd and philosophic withal as ever is Samuel Slick, of
Slickville, in this his third journey with the author. We have not
space to enumerate the half of the excellent sayings of the eceentric
Yankee Clockmaker, but we beg every reader at once to turn
to chapter 20th, and peruse the account of old Mr. Slick's courtship;
if he does not laugh long, and right merrily withal, we shall
put him down as some crazy old bachelor, with a face like crub-apples,
and a smile like verjuice.”
