To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Q 194 EigJiteenth Century Vignettes.
of this passage it will be seen that his pronuncia- tion of 'china' differed from ours: ' And yet, for all he holds this rule, Damoetas is in fact no fool : For he would hardly chuse a groom To make his chairs or hang his room ; Nor with th' upholsterer discourse About the glanders in his horse ; Nor send to buy his wife a tete To Puddle-Dock or Billingsgate; . .
Nor bid his coachman drive o' nights To parish-church instead of White's ; Nor make his party or... his bets With those who never pay their debts ; Nor at dessert of wax and china Neglect the eatables, if any, To smell the chaplet in the middle, Or taste the Chelsea-china fiddle. ' The repetition of the word ' china ' (or 'chaney') in the last lines suggests an inevitable criticism of these papers, from which, by their very nature, it is not easy to make quotation. They are the work of a writer who is at once a wit, a pleasant talker, and a scholar ' conveniently learned, ' but they have also, in their lack of con- struction and indefinite message, most of the characteristics of amateur effort.
