Excerpt from Jorrocks´s Jaunts and Jollities: Being the Hunting, Shooting, Racing, Driving, Sailing, Eating, Eccentric and Extravagant Exploits of That Renowned Sporting Citizen, Mr. John Jorraocks What true-bred city sportsman has not in his day put off the most urgent business - perhaps his marriage, or even the interment of his rib - that he might ´´brave the morn´´ with that renowned pack, the Surrey subscription fox-hounds? Lives there, we would ask, a thorough-bred, prime, bang-up, slapdash, break-neck, out-and-out artist, within three miles of the Monument, who has not occasionally ´´gone a good un´´ with this celebrated pack? And shall we, the bard of Eastcheap, born all deeds of daring to record, shall we, who so oft have witnessed - nay, shared - the hardy exploits of our fellow cits, shall we sit still, and never cease the eternal twirl of our dexter around our sinister thumb, while other scribes hand down to future ages the paltry feats of beardless Meltonians, and try to shame old Father Thames himself with muddy Whissendine´s foul stream? Away! thou vampire, Indolence, that suckest the marrow of imagination, and fattenest on the cream of idea ere yet it float on the milk of reflection. Hence! slug-begotten hag, thy power is gone, - the murky veil thou´st drawn o´er memory´s sweetest page is rent! ´´Harp of Eastcheap, awake!´´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
