Life in London

Pierce Egan

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Just ten years before this, another popular picture of English life had appeared under the title of Doctor Syntax, also illustrated with coloured pictures but Combe's rhymed story of the Quixotic clergyman is altogether of a milder character than that brilliant picture of fun and spree-those astound ing Day and Night Scenes of the glorious heroes, Tom, Jerry, and Logic - which Mr Egan has chronicled for our in struction and amusement. How delightful the book was to the youths of England, and how eagerly all its promised feasts of pleasure were devoured by them, Thackeray has told us in his Roundabout Paper.
