Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Salad for the Solitary: By an Epicure "The turn-pike road to people´s hearts. I find, Lies through their mouths, or I mistake mankind." - Peter Finder. "May it please you to dine with us?" - Shakspeare. Every person of an appreciative taste knows how to estimate a good dinner: we do not appeal to those carnivorous animals who devour their repast with the impetuosity of beasts of prey. If a dish is delectable to the palate, why not prolong its enjoyment, and make the most of it? The company of learned pundits and wits, our artist has portrayed above, we take to be connoisseurs in the art. Smollett´s house was often the scene of such festive gatherings, and his coteries comprised most of the distinguished men of letters of his day; epicures were they in a double sense. Dr. Johnson, no doubtful authority on the subject, affirmed, that "a tavern is the throne of human felicity!" We are not compelled to endorse his enthusiastic estimate, for he was accustomed to meet congenial spirits at his clubs as well as his favorite dishes.
