Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Festival of Wit The pleasure I feel in dedicating this collection (the amusement of my leisure hour) to a Warrior and Poet, whose fame in both departments is universally acknowledge, is such as Grecian and British idolatry only have experienced at the hallowed shrines of Homer and Shakespeare! I have no doubt, when your Majesty relaxes after the fatigue of military operations, but my little present will prove an agreeable companion to you and the venerable warriors of your board and fire-side. British wit is in universal estimation in all polished nations, and has ever found a favourable reception at the Court of the present illustrious Monarch of Prussia. Your Majesty will find very little to condemn, and much to applaud; you will find in it what has distinguished our British ladies above all others in the universe: Beauty! Liveliness! Wit! Genius! Elegance! and irresistible Perfection! - In relating any of the good things in this little volume, if I should ever learn that you took a pinch of snuff extraordinary, (which has been ever looked upon as a sure mark of your approbation) my exultation will be boundless.
