The History of Samuel Titmarsh and the Great Hoggarty Diamond; The Book of Snobs (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The History of Samuel Titmarsh and the Great Hoggarty Diamond; The Book of Snobs The story appeared originally in Fraser's Magazine, in the year 1841, and was written at a time when the writer himself was suffering under the severest' personal grief and calamity. Those who are curious in such points of literary biography, may thus account for a certain sobriety and melancholy which pervades this little tale. As I read it myself, after a seven years' lapse, I can recall the circum stances under which it was written, and the thoughts, other than those on the paper, which accompanied the author through his work. The tale, which was always a favourite with its writer, was not particularly well received at the time of its first appearance; or noticed, except by one or two persons.
