As We Were Saying is a collection of essays written by Charles Dudley Warner, an American author and editor, and published in 1891. The book consists of a series of witty and insightful observations on a variety of topics, including politics, literature, society, and human nature. Warner’s writing style is characterized by his use of humor and satire to comment on the issues of his time. In these essays, he reflects on the changing nature of American society, the role of the media in shaping public opinion, and the challenges facing the country in the wake of the Civil War. He also offers his opinions on a range of literary figures, from Shakespeare to Mark Twain, and discusses the importance of education and the need for moral reform. As We Were Saying provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of America’s most influential writers and thinkers of the late 19th century.1891.
