Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Specimens of Douglas Jerrold´s Wit: Together With Selections, Chiefly From His Contributions to Journals, Intended to Illustrate His Opinions I have endeavoured to collect the scattered witticisms which, during the last twenty years, have been coupled with the name of Douglas Jerrold. The collection is very incomplete. It cannot include one twentieth part of the brilliant repartees, the sparks of wisdom, the flashes of burning fire, which fell from the eloquent tongue that is now mute forever. Charles Kemble said that in one of Douglas Jerrold´s plays there was wit sufficient for three comedies by any other writer; but if it were possible to collect completely the thousands of "good things" that, in the daily intercourse of life - over the study-fire at Putney, at picnics in the Pas de Calais, at the table of "Our Club," in the genial circle of the Old Mulberries, and at the family dinner-table - fell from the lips of one of the kindest among men, the present spare volume would swell to the proportions of an encyclopædia, and the reputation of the author of "Bubbles of the Day" would increase tenfold.
