TAI FE IN LONDON ; or, the Day and Night Scenes ; 4
of Jerry Hawthorn. Esq. and his elegant Friend, Corinthian I
Turn, in their Rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis.
By PIERCE EGA N.
" They do these things better in France !" said Sterne. " I Pay
not," retdies Tom ; " London against the World for Life..—
Why, its Carlton Palace to a • Charley's Shelter,' and no chance
to win." '` Bravo." grins Jerry; " there never was such times as
these, my Tommy ! Ha! ha !' '—New Chaff:
The Scenes, abounding with fun, gayety of style, anecdote, and
character, have all been taken on the spot, at the moment they
presented themselves, by those inimitable Artists, I. R. and G.
Cruikshank. -They portray Jerry's introduction to Mr. Primelit ;
the gay show in Hyde Park, the anecdotes and stroll in the Saloon,
taking Blue Ruin in the Sluiceries, the lark at the Coffee-shop, the
spree and gammon before (114 tinoozy, the feeling Jarvis, the good
Beak, and the unfortunate Cyprian at Bow-street, the Art of Self-
defence at Mr..lackson's Rooms, drinking punch out of the Cham-
pion of England's cup, winning money on Jacco Maccacco, getting
the best of a Charley, a look.in at Tattersall's, gar moments with
Corinthian Kate and the lovely Sue, the assault at CrSaaghtieny's,
the old Fortune-teller, the grandeur and imposing appearance of
Carlton Palace, the row in Leicester-fields with the Peep o' Day
Boys, the Morning of Execution, a Finivh of some sort of Life in
London, the interesting groups of Merchants at the Royal Ex-
change—principally the architects of their own fortunes—the rich
Contrast of Characters at All-Max and Almack's, the Royal Cock-
pit, the gammon and trying-it-on qualities of the Swell Broad
Coves, the Humour and Fun at the Grand Carnival, Don Giovanni
and the Green-room, tasting Ni'ine in the Wood, the Opera-house,
making the most of a Night at Vauxhall, a Shilling well laid out
at the Royal Academy, Masquerading it among the Cadgers, poor
Bob blown up at Point Non Plus, the chequered Scene of Mankind
at a Whistling Shop, the Climax, Jerry but to a atand.still, and
his return to Hawthorn Hall.
To those persons who, from a variety of causes, have scarcely
been enabled to quit their homes; to others, whom the pursuits of
the country have prevented from visiting London; and even to
thousands of individuals, resident in the metropolis the whole of
their existence, whu are complete dummies as to the movements
and gig of the Town, this Work will not only afford inexhaustible
amusement, but may also prove of incalculable advantage. For
instance, Life in London is here seen without any fear or apprehen.
pion of danger, either from the calamities of fire or water, avoiding
the breaking of limb', receiving a black eye, losing a pocket-book,
or getting into a watehhouse, freed also from the nightly attacks of
• naughty vomen.' with being exposed the next morning before a
Magistrate as disorderly, and steering clear of all those innumerable
rows and troubles incident or allied to " keeping it up," and loving
fun. It would have been fortunate, indeed, for poor Jerry, Corin-
thian Tom, and Logic, if they had possessed such a datum. But
" experience makes fools wish; " and this lively good-natured trio
have (for the benefit of fireside heroes, wbo wish nothing more titan
to have a sort of " squint in private at Life," fearful of even a
scratch, or being caught " upon the sly,") here related their Ad.
ventures. In fact, every Square in the Metropolis is a sort of map
well worthy of exploring, if riches and titles operate as a source of
curiosity to the Visiter. There is not a street in London but may
' be compared to a large or small volume of intelligence, abounding
with Anecdote, Incident, and Peculiarities. A Court or Alley
must be obscure indeed, if they do not afford some remarks ; and
even the poorest Cellar contains some trait or other, in unison with
the manners and feelings of this great City.

tion are still on sate, price If. ISt. In stands.
