Excerpt from Joseph Jenkins, Vol. 2 of 3: Or Leaves From the Life of a Literary ManIt was, as has been just remarked, established on the ruins of The Brilliants, in the com mencing year of the present century, and can consequently boast of the very respectable age of forty-two. It was set on foot by a band of the choicest spirits then in the metropolis, who were anxious to have some fixed place in which they could nightly meet for purposes of harm less hilarity, and where in the spirit of innocent banter they might speak of each other with unrestrained freedom of remark. They were also, on the spur of the moment, to get up ridiculous charges against each other, and the party preferring the charge wsa expected to make, with all due gravity, a lengthened speech, as able and ingenious as possible, in support of it. Witnesses were to be called to substantiate the various counts contained in the indictment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
