Excerpt from Literary London: Its Lights and ComediesThe great young man is very much with us in lite rature just now. I have tried to keep pace with the sundry manifestations of his intellect, with the things in his person and property which set the admiring crowd of paragraphists about him to prompt and persistent pencilling. In my moments of daring energy I have had thoughts of preparing what I might call A Small Fry 'cyclopaedia, the full and faithful record of the works, appetites, pastimes, idiosyncrasies, and attitudes of our great young men. These things sprawl across the small-talk journals and are laid as with a trowel on the papers whose forte is interviewing. It seems to me that such momentous matters should be reduced to some system, and the wildering wealth of delectable data about our great young men set in handy order for reference by an interested posterity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
