A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Golden A ge of the man of pleasure who was then a recognised type, much toleration being extended to the most unconventional ways and doings. Sport, often of a somewhat rough description, was the life-long occupation of a large number of people, and not infrequently the meaning of the term was stretched to include much that would to-day seem unalluring, if not positively brutal. London was an altogether different city from the one we now see. Luxury was only for the privileged few, but the populace had a good deal of rough enjoyment of a sort unknown to our more fastidious age. The ordinary conveniences of life, now so perfect, left much to be desired. To begin with, the facilities for locomotion were of a primitive description, the only public vehicles being the old-fashioned hackney coaches, with a pair of horses that never exceeded five miles an hour.
