Excerpt from Manners and Customs of Ye Englyshe Drawn From Ye QuickSes, how his Master had badly taughthim and now he must hang for it; how he should ride up Holborn Hill in a Cart, and the Sheriffs would come, and then the Parson, and preach to him, and after them would come the Hangman and at the End of each Verse he did repeat his Oath. Last of all, how that he should go up to the Gallows and desired the Prayers of his Audience, and ended by cursing them all round. Methinks it had been a Sermon to a Rogue to hear him, and I wish it may have done good to some of the Company. Yet was his cursing very horrible, albeit to not a few it seemed a high Joke; but I do doubt that they understood the Song and did only relish the Oaths. Strange to think what a Hit this Song of sam hall hath made, and how it hath taken the Town, and how popular it is not only among Tavern Haunters and Frequenters of Night Houses, but also with the Gentry and Aris tocracy who do vote it a Thing that ought to be heard though a blackguard, and look in at the Cider Cellars Night by Night after Dinner at their Clubs to hear it sung. After sam hall, to pay for my Supper, which cost me 25. 2d., besides 4d. To the Waiter; and then Home in a Cab, it being late, and I fearing to anger my Wife, which' cost me 25. More but I grudged not the Money, having been much diverted, and so to Bed.an car Home. Re rouge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Manners and Customs of Ye Englyshe Drawn From Ye QuickHowever, there flourilhed in a fomewhat later day a philofopher, for fuch he was after his fafhion, a virtuofo, antiquary, and whofe gholi an inconfiderable perfon may perhaps attempt to raife without being accufed of pretending to be too much of a conjuror. He appears to have been a Peripatetic, at leafl: until he could keep a coach, but on the fubjeéts of drefs, dining, and fome others, his opinions favour firongly of Epicurifm. A little more than a hundred and eighty years ago he employed his leifure in going about everywhere, peeping into everything, feeing all that he could, and chronicling his experiences daily. In his Diary, which happily has come down to our times, the hif'corical facts are highly valuable, the comments moftly fenfible, the {1e is very odd, and the autobiography extremely ludicrous.' I have adventured reverently to evoke this worfhipful gentleman, that, refuming his old vocation as a journalifl, he might comment on the Manners and Cvf'coms of ye Englylhe in in the name of mr. Pips. I hope his fhadow, if not his fpirit, may be recognifed in.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
