The Second Funeral of Napoleon

William Makepeace Thackeray 1811 1863 was an English novelist of the 19th century. He was famous for his satirical works, particularly Vanity Fair 1847, a panoramic portrait of English society. Thackeray began as a satirist and parodist, with a sneaking fondness for roguish upstarts like Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair, Barry Lyndon in Barry Lyndon 1844 and Catherine in Catherine 1839. In his earliest works, writing under such pseudonyms as Charles James Yellowplush, Michael Angelo Titmarsh and George Savage Fitz Boodle, he tended towards the savage in his attacks on high society, military prowess, the institution of marriage and hypocrisy. His writing career really began with a series of satirical sketches now usually known as The Yellowplush Papers, which appeared in Fraser’s Magazine beginning in 1837. Between May 1839 and February 1840, Fraser’s published the work sometimes considered Thackeray’s first novel, Catherine also notable among the later novels are The Fitz Boodle Papers 1842, Men’s Wives 1842, The History of Pendennis 1848, The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., 1852, The Newcomes 1853 and The Rose and the Ring 1855 .

The Fitz-Boodle Papers

Dear Sir, I have always been considered the third best whist player in Europe, and though never betting more than five pounds have for many years past added considerably to my yearly income by my skill in the game, until the commencement of the present season, when a French gentleman, Monsieur Lalouette, was admitted to the club where I usually play. His skill and reputation were so great, that no men of the club were inclined to play against us two of a side; and the consequence has been, that we have been in a manner pitted against one another. By a strange turn of luck for I cannot admit the idea of his superiority, Fortune, since the Frenchman’s arrival, has been almost constantly against me, and I have lost two and thirty nights in the course of a couple of score of nights’ play. Everybody knows that I am a poor man; and so much has Lalouette’s luck drained my finances, that only last week I was obliged to give him that famous gray cob on which you have seen me riding in the Park I can’t afford a thoroughbred, and hate a cocktail, I was, I say, forced to give him up my cob in exchange for four ponies which I owed him. Thus, as I never walk, being a heavy man whom nobody cares to mount, my time hangs heavily on my hands; and, as I hate home, or that apology for it a bachelor’s lodgings and as I have nothing earthly to do now until I can afford to purchase another horse, I spend my time in sauntering from one club to another, passing many rather listless hours in them before the men come in. Your obedient servant, George Savage Fitz Boodle

Our Street

It is as good as a coronation to see him and Mrs. Bumpsher go to Court. I wonder the carriage can hold them both. On those days Mrs. Bumpsher holds her own drawing room before her Majesty’s; and we are invited to come and see her sitting in state, upon the largest sofa in her rooms. She has need of a stout one, I promise you. Her very feathers must weigh something considerable. The diamonds on her stomacher would embroider a full sized carpet bag.

The Newcomes

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. AN OLD STORY. ANY Of Clive’s Roman friends were by this time come to London, and the young man renewed his acquaintance with them, and had speedily a considerable circle of his own. He thought fit to allow himself a good horse or two, and appeared in the Park among other young dandies. He and Monsieur de Montcontour were sworn allies. Lord Fareham, who had purchased J. J.’s picture, was Clive’s very good friend: Major Pendennis himself pronounced him to be a young fellow of agreeable manners, and very favourably rtt as the Major happened to know in some very good quarters. Ere many days Clive had been to Brighton to see Lady Ann and Sir Brian, and good Aunt Honeyman, in whose house the Baronet was lodged: and I suppose he found out, by some means or other, where Lady Kew lived in May Fair. But her ladyship was not at home, nor was she at home on the second day, nor did there come any note from Ethel to her cousin. She did not ride in the Park as of old. Clive, bien vu as he was,did not belong to that great world as yet, in which he would be pretty sure to meet her every night at one of those parties where everybody goes. He read her name in the paper morning after morning, as having been present at Lady This’s entertainment and Lady That’s ministerial reunion. At first he was too shy to tell what the state of the case was, and took nobody into his confidence regarding his little tendre. There he was riding through Queen Street, May Fair, attired in splendid raiment: never missing the Park ; actually going to places of worship in the neighbourhood ; and frequenting the opera a waste of time which one would never have expected in a youth of his nurture. At length a certain observer of human nature remarking his state, rightly conjectured that he m…

The Adventures of Philip

When the Shabby Genteel Story was first reprinted with other stories and sketches by William Makepeace Thackeray, the following note was appended to it: ‘It was my intention to complete the little story, of which only the first part is here written. Perhaps novel readers will understand, even from the above chapters, what was to ensue. Caroline was to be disowned and deserted by her wicked husband; that abandoned man was to marry somebody else; hence, bitter trials and grief, patience and virtue, for poor little Caroline, and a melancholy ending as how should it have been gay? The tale was interrupted at a sad period of the writer’s own life. The colors are long since dry; the artist’s hand is changed. It is best to leave the sketch, as it was when first designed seventeen years ago. The memory of the past is renewed as he looks at it die Bilder froher Tage Und manche liebe Schatten steigen auf.’ Mr. Brandon, a principal character in this story, figures prominently in The Adventures of Philip, under his real name of Brand Firmin; Mrs. Brandon, his deserted wife, and her father, Mr. Gann, are also introduced; thus The Adventures of Philip can be considered a sequel to A Shabby Genteel Story.

Denis Duval

‘Oh, you storyteller!’ cries the other. ‘What have you done with your three guineas which you were bragging about and showing to the boys at school? I suppose they were in the box when it was broken open.’ This Samuel Arbin was one of the boys who had jeered when I was taken in charge by the constable, and would have liked me to be guilty, I almost think. I am afraid I had bragged about my money when I possessed it, and may have shown my shining gold pieces to some of the boys in school.

Cox’s Diary

Jemima was, you see, a lady herself, and of very high connections: though her own family had met with crosses, and was rather low. Mr. Tuggeridge, her father, kept the famous tripe shop near the ‘Pigtail and Sparrow,’ in the Whitechapel Road; from which place I married her; being myself very fond of the article, and especially when she served it to me the dear thing!

The Notch On The Ax

Only it was CUT OFF! Ha, ha, ha!’ Mr. Pinto cried, yelling a laugh, which I observed made the policeman stare very much. ‘Yes. It was cut off by the same blow which took off the scoundrel’s head ho, ho, ho!’ And he made a circle with his hook nailed finger round his own yellow neck, and grinned with a horrible triumph.

The Paris Sketch Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE DEVIL’S WAGER. It was the hour of the night when there be none stirring save churchyard ghosts when all doors are closed except the gates of graves, and all eyes shut but the eyes of wicked men. When there is no sound on the earth except the ticking of the grasshopper, or the croaking of obscene frogs in the poole. And no light except that of the blinking starres, and the wicked and devilish wills o’ the wisp, as they gambol among the marshes, and lead good men astraye. When there is nothing moving in heaven except the owle, as he flappeth along lazily ; or the magician, as he rides on his infernal broomsticke, whistling through the aire like the arrowes of a Yorkshire ar chere. It was at this hour namely, at twelve o’clock of the night, that two beings went winging through the black clouds, and holding converse with each other. Now the first was Mercurius, the messenger, not of gods as the heathens feigned, but of daemons; and the second, with whom he held company, was the soul of Sir Roger de Hollo, the brave knight. Sir Roger was Count of Chauchigny, in Champagne; Seigneur ofSanterre; Villacerf and aultre lieux. But the great die as well as the humble; and nothing remained of brave Roger, now, but his coffin and his deathless soul. And Mercurius, in order to keep fast the. soul, his companion, had bound him round the neck with his tail; which, when the soul was stubborn, he would draw so tight as to strangle him well nigh, sticking into him the barbed point thereof; whereat the poor soul, Sir Rollo, would groan and roar lustily. Now they two had come, together, from the gates of purgatorie, being bound to those regions of fire and flame where poor sinners fry and roast in saecula ssecu lorum. ‘ It is hard,’ said the poor Sir Rollo, as they w…

The Irish Sketch-Book

Book Description:

‘The Irish Sketch Book, which was the more substantial work, focuses on ‘the manners and scenery of the country’. Nevertheless, it cannot leave out glimpses of the political and economic state of Ireland on the eve of the Great Famine. Although Thackeray suggests that these are ‘miseries that one does not dare to think of ‘, he cannot miss ‘public evidences of the distress of the country’. The dominant impression is of shabbiness, poverty, lack of work, and widespread ‘popular starvation’. Central Dublin is like a deserted city; market day in Carlow, in respect of the meanness of the objects for barter, is compared to market day in ‘a town of African huts and traders on the banks of the Quarra’; beggars’ houses in Bantry are unfavourably compared, for comfort, with ‘a Hottentot kraal’, and everywhere he finds signs of neglect and ruin. He notes that the Irish Poor Law Report records ‘twelve hundred thousand people in Ireland’ with no means of support’. And he himself observes ‘women pulling weeds and nettles in the hedges, on which dismal sustenance the poor creatures live, having no bread, no potatoes, no work’. Thackeray, however, is resistant to the rhetoric of ‘English tyranny and suffering Ireland’.’ Quote from goliath. ecnext. com

They pervade all clas*ses Affecting instance of Colonel Snobley. We have all read a statement, the authenticity of which I take leave to doubt entirely, for upon what calculations I should like to know is it founded? we have all, I say, been favoured by perusing a remark, that when the times and necessities of the world call for a Man, that individual is found. Thus at the French Revolution which the reader will be pleased to have introduced so early, when it was requisite to administer a corrective dose to the nation, Robespierre was found; a most foul and nauseous dose indeed, and swallowed eagerly by the patient, greatly to the latter’s ultimate advantage: thus, when it became necessary to kick John Bull out of America, Mr. Washington stepped forward, and performed that job to satisfaction: thus, when the Earl of Aldborough was unwell, Professor Holloway appeared with his pills, and cured his lordship, as per advertiseme*nt, &c.&c. Numberless instances might be adduced to show that when a nation is in great want, the relief is at hand; just as in the Pantomime that microcosm where when CLOWN wants anything a warming pan, a pump handle, a goose, or a lady’s tippet a fellow comes sauntering out from behind the side scenes with the very article in question.

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson 1850 1894, was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo romanticism in English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson’s popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon. Stevenson was a celebrity in his own time, but with the rise of modern literature after World War I, he was seen for much of the 20th century as a writer of the second class, relegated to children’s literature and horror genres. His works include: An Inland Voyage 1878, Familiar Studies of Men and Books 1882, New Arabian Nights 1882, Kidnapped 1886, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables 1887, Memories and Portraits 1887, Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin 1887, The Black Arrow 1888, and Master of Ballantrae: A Winter’s Tale 1889.

The English Humourists

William Thackeray 1811 63 began as a journalist and produced his first critique in 1837, and his first novel in 1841. His association with Punch began in 1842 and articles continued until 1854. In 1851 he gave a series of lectures on ‘The English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century’ in cities around England and later the USA. This collection of potted biographies comprises Jonathan Swift; Congreve and Addison; Richard Steele; Prior, Gay and Pope; Hogarth, Smollet and Fielding; Sterne and Goldsmith. These seven lectures were delivered on Thackeray’s American tour of 1852, but only the six lectures pertaining to English authors were published in England; the seventh ‘Charity and Humour’ appeared here for the first time. These lectures were a great success with the Victorian public, and remain a witty, enjoyable and affectionate comment on the period by one of England’s greatest writers.

Diplomatists take their Bath in it as of right; and it flings out a profusion of glittering stars upon the nobility of the three kingdoms. Cannot Britannia find a ribbon for her sailors ? The Navy, royal or mercantile, is a Sendee. The command of a ship, or the conduct of her, implies danger, honor, science, skill, subordination, good faith. It may be a victory, such as that of the ‘Sarah Sands;’ it may be discovery, such as that of the ‘ Fox ; ‘ it may be heroic disaster, such as that of the ‘ Birkenhead ;’ and in such events merchant seamen, as well as royal seamen, take their share. Why is there not, then, an Order of Britannia? One day a young officer of the ‘ Euryalus ‘ may win it ; and, having just read the memoirs of Lord Dundonai.d, I know who ought to have the first Grand Cross. ON SOME LATE GREAT VICTORIES. On the i8th day of April last I went to see a friend in a neighboring Crescent, and on the steps of the next house beheld a group something like that here depicted. A newsboy had stopped in his walk, and was reading aloud the journal which it was his duty to deliver; a pretty orange girl, with a heap of blazing fruit, rendered more brilliant by one of those great blue papers in which oranges are now artfully wrapped, leant over the railing and listened : and opposite the nympham disccntem there was a. capering and acute eared young satirist of a crossing sweeper, who had left his neighboring professional avocation and chance of profit, in order to listen to the tale of the little newsboy. That intelligent reader, with his hand following the line as he read it out to his audience, was saying : ‘And now Tom coining up smi’ing after his fall dee delivered a rattling clinker upon the Benicia Bo…

Some Roundabout Papers

William Makepeace Thackeray 1811 1863 was an English novelist of the 19th century. He was famous for his satirical works, particularly Vanity Fair 1847, a panoramic portrait of English society. Thackeray began as a satirist and parodist, with a sneaking fondness for roguish upstarts like Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair, Barry Lyndon in Barry Lyndon 1844 and Catherine in Catherine 1839. In his earliest works, writing under such pseudonyms as Charles James Yellowplush, Michael Angelo Titmarsh and George Savage Fitz Boodle, he tended towards the savage in his attacks on high society, military prowess, the institution of marriage and hypocrisy. His writing career really began with a series of satirical sketches now usually known as The Yellowplush Papers, which appeared in Fraser’s Magazine beginning in 1837. Between May 1839 and February 1840, Fraser’s published the work sometimes considered Thackeray’s first novel, Catherine also notable among the later novels are The Fitz Boodle Papers 1842, Men’s Wives 1842, The History of Pendennis 1848, The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., 1852, The Newcomes 1853 and The Rose and the Ring 1855 .

Letters to an American Family

IN the early days of November, 1852, my father, to his own great surprise, found himself shaking hands with the great English novelist in the parlours of the Clarendon Hotel, New York. The reading public had been much interested and excited by the news that Thackeray was coming to America to deliver a course of lectures on the English humourists. We had talked of it eagerly at home, having but lately read ‘Esmond,’and having discussed in a lively fashion, as was usual in our family circle, the merits and demerits of Lady Castle wood, Beatrix, and the young Harry. We had made plans for securing seats for the lectures, which were to be given under the auspices of the Mercantile Library Association, whose president at that time was Mr. Willard Felt. We had no idea of having any familiar intercourse with the famous author of ‘ Vanity Fair/’ Indeed, we should have been almost alarmed at so ambitious a suggestion.
But a young Englishman and friend of Thackeray, Mr.’B M of whom we had s

Early and Late Papers

Originally published in 1867, this was the first printing in book form of all the 22 papers in the volume, with an introductory Note by James T. Fields who collected these pieces for publication. When Thackeray visited America, he had the pleasant habit of quoting to his friends phrases, and sometimes long paragraphs, from his earlier contributions to the English periodicals; and when asked why he had not included these magazine articles among his other miscellanies, he replied: ‘They are small potatoes,’ adding, at the same time, ‘but pretty good small potatoes, I believe.’ James T. Fields, the collector of these Thackeray valuables, remembers also when he begged the author to bring together his scattered contributions to ‘Fraser’ and ‘Punch,’ he replied: ‘Do it yourself, mon ami; write the preface, and I’ll stand by you.’
