Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Clubs of London, Vol. 1 of 2: With Anecdotes of Their Members, Sketches of Character, and Conversations Once fetter it with the chains of a definition; - circumscribe its comforts, its enjoyments, its warm communion of heart, within the limits of any precise term, - and it is no longer a club. Yet how grossly has this word been abused! Jacobins, Feuillans, Whigs, and Pittites have successively usurped it; as if leagues and confederations to keep alive political passions, or to propagate political sympathies, deserved a name, which, but for a gross depravation of language, would have been held sacred to the gentler intercourse, and undisturbed fellowship it originally designated! A specific purpose pursued in confederation will not make a club; otherwise the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and the Holy Alliance, would be clubs. But in its genuine, unperverted meaning, how much is included in the phrase! what kind-hearted feelings, what a cluster of cheerful sensations and of innocent delights, lie embedded in that homely monosyllable!
