Excerpt from Punch's Letters to His Son, and Punch's Complete Letter-WriterThese letters were originally addressed to, I verily believe, my own son. In them, I have endeavoured to enshrine the wisdom of my life. In them, I have sought to paint men as they are - to sketch the scenes of the world as they have presented themselves 'to my observation - to show the spring of human motives - to exhibit to the Opening mind of youth the vulgar wires that, because unseen, make a mystery of common-place.I am prepared to be much abused for these epistles. They are written in lemon-juice. Nay, the little sacs in the jaws of the rattle-snake, wherein the reptile elaborates its poison to strike with sudden death the beautiful and harmless guinea - pigs and coneys of the earth, - these venomous bags have supplied the quill that traced the mortal sentences. Or if it be not really so, it is no matter; the worthy, amiable souls, who would have even a Sawney Bean painted upon a rose - leaf, will say as much; so let mejor once be beforehand, and say it for them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Punch's Letters to His Son, and Punch's Complete Letter-Writer (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Nell Gwynne, or the Prologue: A Comedy in Two Acts Last night was buried Mad. Ellen Gwyn, the D. Of St. Alban's mother. She has made a very formal will, and died richer than she seemed to be whilst she lived. She is said to have died piously and penitently; and as she dispensed several charities in her life time, so she left several such legacies at her death; but what is much admired is, she died worth, and left to D. St. Alban's, vivis et modis, about sterling, a great many say more, few less. The assertion of her dying worth a million of money (says a writer in The Athenceum) is hardly worth attention; the extract from the original letter, by Seward, must have contained a 0 too much. What the Duke of Buckingham told Bishop Burnet, that Nell's first demand on the king was five hundred a year, which he rejected; but that in about four years afterwards, she had managed to obtain more than sixty thousand pounds, goes far to make up the one hundred thousand, which it is more generally allowed she died possessed of.
