Excerpt from Babylon the Great, Vol. 1 of 2: A Dissection and Demonstration of Men and Things in the British Capital
Elsewhere one may contemplate a single feature or lineament of the great picture of man but here they are altogether and at once upon the canvass, singularly blended and even confounded together, but still strong, graphic, and perfect in all their peculiarities. The direct'contemplation of this vast picture is, perhaps, too great a labour for any one man; and the details, if minutely given, would form a work from the perusal of which the most vo racious reader would turn aside: and therefore a sketch which shall exhibit the great features, phy sical and intellectual, must, with however light and hasty a pencil it is touched, be fraught with ih terest.
