About this book
Mad Shepherds and Other Human Studies is by L. P. Jacks. The contents list pieces titled Shoemaker Hankin, Snarley Bob on the Stars, Snarley Bob's Invisible Companion and The Death of Snarley Bob, among others. A passage in the front matter says there is nothing that so embases and enthralls the Souls of men, as the dismall and dreadfull thoughts of their own Mortality.
One passage says that Hankin was the son of a Chartist, from whom he inherited a small but sufficient collection of books. Another passage says that the party had lost their tea, and gained a subject for conversation at dinner. A further passage says that Snarley, in the tap-room of the Nag's Head, heard the story from the groom who had lit the fire, hung the kettle, and seen it fly into space. In another scene a speaker says of Banquo: And I tell you, him 'ere is a good cornet player.
