Excerpt from Patchwork, Vol. 1 of 3
In my reply, I said that I saw no great harm in a bed-cover of patchwork, if the pieces were of good texture in themselves, and were so placed in respect to colour and pattern that they made a pleasing whole. I added, as in duty bound, that as I had really no particular love for this title, I should be most happy if he would suggest any other, equally descriptive of the book to which it was prefixed.
