The work serves as a platform for the author to articulate his thoughts on humanity, culture, and the arts—often with wit and a touch of nostalgia. The essays are likely inspired by Morley’s experiences as a journalist, offering insights blended with humor and philosophical musings. At the start of the book, the author sets the tone by addressing his friends in a heartfelt dedication, claiming that the essays often originated from the lively chaos of his mind. He mentions the ephemeral nature of his writings, which have been compiled from newspaper columns, and expresses the hope that they might inspire future generations of journalists. Morley discusses the candid nature of columnists, who often share their unfiltered opinions and observations, and reflects on the rich interplay between critics, the arts, and the world around them. Through this opening portion, readers are invited into Morley's thoughtful, often humorous exploration of life's fleeting moments, as he seeks to capture its essence in writing.
