Over The Teacups is a collection of essays written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, an American physician and writer, which were originally published in The Atlantic Monthly between 1890 and 1891. The essays are written in a conversational style and cover a wide range of topics, including literature, philosophy, science, and society. Holmes reflects on his own experiences and observations, as well as those of his friends and acquaintances, and offers his opinions on a variety of subjects. Some of the essays are humorous and lighthearted, while others are more serious and contemplative. Overall, Over The Teacups provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of America’s most renowned writers and thinkers.I had intended to devote this particular report to an account of my replies to certain questions which have been addressed to me,-- questions which I have a right to suppose interest the public, and which, therefore, I was justified in bringing before The Teacups, and presenting to the readers of these articles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
