DEMOCRITUS IN LONDON; with the Mad Pranks and Conceits of Motley and Robin
Goodfellow: to which are added Notes Festivous, &c. By GEORGE DANIEL,
Author of "Merrie England in the Olden Time," "The Modern Dunciad," &c.
"An exquisite metrical conceit, sparkling with wit and humour, in the true
spirit of Aristophanes, in which Democritus guides his brilliant and merry
muse through every fantastic measure, evincing grace in the most grotesque
attitudes. As a relief to his cutting sarcasm and fun, the laughing
philosopher has introduced some fine descriptive scenes, and passages of
deep pathos, eloquence, and beauty. Not the least remarkable feature in
this very remarkable book are the recondite and curious notes, at once so
critical and philosophical, so varied and so amusing, so full of
interesting anecdote and racy reminiscences. They form a rich mine of
classical learning and antiquarian knowledge. To genius and virtue
Democritus will prove a delightful companion and friend, but a well-pickled
rod to vice and folly--a scourge to make wince hollow pretenders of every
kind--even down to the critical impostor and the stage-struck
buffoon."--See _Athenæum_, _Critic_, &c.
WILLIAM PICKERING, 177. Piccadilly.
