Excerpt from About London
Of ingenious Swindling, all brought to light by means Of the press. What people could have found to talk about before the invention Of newspapers, is beyond my limited comprehension. They must have been a dull set in those dark days; I suppose the farmers and country gentlemen talked Of bullocks, and tradespeople about trade; the ladies about fashions, and cookery, and the plague Of bad servants. We are wonderfully smarter now, and Shine, though it be with a borrowed light.
