Summary "Quips and Quiddities: A Quintessence of Quirks, Quaint, Quizzical, and Quotable" by W. Davenport Adams is a collection of literary excerpts and humorous observations, likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation serves as a delightful amalgamation of witty sayings, puns, epigrams, and amusing anecdotes drawn from various sources, aiming to entertain readers during their leisure moments. The wide-ranging content allows readers to explore an eclectic mix of prose and verse, presenting a playful approach to language and wit. The opening of the volume introduces the reader to the editor's intent, emphasizing the collection's focus on brevity and variety in its selections. The preface outlines the arrangement and creative structure of the anthology, noting that the pieces are not presented in any particular order and are characterized by their fragmentary nature. This allows for a lighthearted reading experience, where the reader can easily dip in and out of the humor and wit encapsulated within, confirming that the assembled 'quips' and 'quiddities' are meant to amuse rather than convey a continuous narrative.
