Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Just the Very Thing for Newspaper Readers "There she is - the great engine - she never sleeps. She has her ambassadors in every quarter of the world - her couriers upon every road. Her officers march along with armies, and her envoys walk into statesmen´s cabinets. They are ubiquitous. Yonder journal has an agent at this minute giving bribes at Madrid, and another inspecting the price of potatoes at Covent Garden. Look! here comes the Foreign Express galloping in. They will be able to give news at Downing Street to-morrow: funds will rise or fall, fortunes be made or lost. Lord B. will get up, and holding the paper in his hands, and seeing the noble marquis in his place, will make a speech; and Mr. Doolan will be called away from his supper at the back kitchen, for he is foreign sub-editor, and sees the mail in the newspaper sheet before he goes to his own (sheet)." - Thackeray.
