  I have a miscellaneous collection of books, numbering 3,500, and I
  am fond of the quaint and curious in every line.  I am very fond of
  dogs, birds, and all small pets—­a passion not approved by my wife.

  My favorite flower is the carnation, and I adore dolls.

  My favorite hymn is “Bounding Billows.”

  My favorites in fiction are Hawthorne’s “Scarlet Letter,” “Don
  Quixote,” and “Pilgrim’s Progress.”

  I greatly love Hans Andersen’s “Tales,” and I am deeply interested
  in folk-lore and fairy-tales.  I believe in ghosts, in witches, and
  in fairies.

  I should like to own a big astronomical telescope and a
  twenty-four-tune music-box.

My heroes in history are Martin Luther, Mademoiselle Lamballe, Abraham Lincoln; my favorite poems are Koerner’s “Battle Prayer,” Wordsworth’s “We are Seven,” Newman’s “Lead, Kindly Light,” Luther’s “Hymn,” Schiller’s “The Diver,” Horace’s “Fons Bandusiae,” and Burns’s “Cotter’s Saturday Night.”  I dislike Dante and Byron.  I should like to have known Jeremiah, the prophet, old man Poggio, Walter Scott, Bonaparte, Hawthorne, Mademoiselle Sontag, Sir John Herschel, Hans Andersen.

  My favorite actor is Henry Irving; actress, Mademoiselle Modjeska.

  I dislike “politics,” so called.

  I should like to have the privilege of voting extended to women.

  I favor a system of pensions for noble services in literature, art,
  science, etc.  I approve of compulsory education.

If I had my way, I should make the abuse of horses, dogs, and cattle, a penal offence; I should abolish all dog laws and dog catchers, and I would punish severely everybody who caught and caged birds.

  I dislike all exercise, and play all games indifferently.

  I love to read in bed.

  I believe in churches and schools; I hate wars, armies, soldiers,
  guns, and fireworks.

  I like music (limited).

  I have been a great theatre-goer.

  I enjoy the society of doctors and clergymen.

  My favorite color is red.

I do not care particularly for sculpture or for paintings; I try not to become interested in them, for the reason that if I were to cultivate a taste for them I should presently become hopelessly bankrupt.

  I am extravagantly fond of perfumes.
