LIFE IN LONDON, bel With Coloured Plates, and numerous Wood-Cuts; the Scenes from real Life, by I. R. and G. CRUIKSHANK. 6 6 They do these things better in France!" said Sterne. "I say not," replies Tom; "London it the World for Life.'-Why, it's Carlton-Palace to a Charley's Shelter,' and no chance radation," ""Bravo," grins Jerry; "there never was such times as these, my Tommy! Ha! ha!" NEW CHAFF. BOOKS PUBLISHED BY SHERWOOD, JONES, AND CO. 訂 FE IN LONDON; or, the DAY and NIGHT SCENES of "LIFE, in London, is DEATH!"-Last words of CORINTHIAN TOM. prove To those Persons who, from a variety of causes, have scarcely been enabled Gquit their homes; to others, whom the pursuits of the Country have preented from visiting London; and even to thousands of individuals, resident in the Metropolis the whole of their existence, who are complete dummies as to the Movements and gig of the Town, this Work will not only afford inexhaustible musement, but also may of incalculable advantage. For instance, LIFE LONDON is here seen without any fear or apprehension of danger either from e calamities of fire or water; avoiding the breaking of limbs, receiving a black eye, losing a pocket-book, or getting into a watch-house; freed also from the nightly attacks of naughty vomen,' with being exposed the next morning efore a Magistrate as disorderly; and steering clear of all those innumerable ows and troubles incident or allied to "keeping it up," and loving fun. It would have been fortunate indeed for poor JERRY, CORINTHIAN TOM, and LOGIC, they had possessed such a chaunt. But "experience makes fools wise;" and is lively good-natured Trio have, (for the benefit of fire-side heroes, who wish othing more than to have a sort of "squint in private at Life," fearful of even scratch, or being caught " upon the sly,") here related their Adventures. ct, every Square in the Metropolis is a sort of map well worthy of exploring, riches and titles operate as a source of curiosity to the Visitor. There is not Street in London, but may be compared to a large or small volume of intellience, abounding with Anecdote, Incident, and Peculiarities. A Court or Alley In must be obscure indeed, if it do not afford some remarks; and even poorest Cellar contains some trait or other, in unison with the manners and f ings of this great City. The Scenes, abounding with fun, gaiety of style, anecdote, and charac have all been taken on the spot, at the moment they presented themselves, those inimitable Artists, I. R. and G. Cruikshank. They portray Jeri Introduction to Mr. Primefit; the gay show in Hyde-Park; the anecdotes a stroll in the Saloon; taking Blue Ruin in the Sluiceries; the lark at the Coff Shop; the spree and gammon before Old Snoozy; the feeling Jervis, the ge Beak, and the unfortunate Cyprian at Bow-Street; the Art of Self-Defence Mr. Jackson's Rooms; drinking Punch out of the Champion of England's Cu winning money on Jacco Maccacco; getting the best of a Charley; a look-in Tattersall's; gay Moments with Corinthian Kate and the lovely Sue; the Assa at O'Shaunessy's; the Old Fortune-Teller; the grandeur and imposing a pearance of Carlton-Palace; the Row in Leicester-Fields with the PeepDay Boys; the Morning of Execution,-a Finish of some sort of Life in Lo don; the interesting groups of Merchants at the Royal Exchange,-principa the Architects of their own fortunes; the rich Contrast of Characters ALL-MAX and ALMACK'S; the Royal Cock-Pit; the gammon and tryin it-on qualities of the Swell Broad-Coves; the Humour and Fun at the Gra Carnival; Don Giovanni and the Green Room; tasting Wine in the Wood the Opera-House; making the most of a Night at Vauxhall; a shilling wo laid out at the Royal Academy; masquerading it among the Cadgers; po Bob blown up at Point Non Plus; the chequered Scene of Mankind at Whistling-Shop ;-the Climax,-Jerry beat to a stand-still; and his return Hawthorn Hall. .. It is presumed, sufficient has been stated to justify the assertion, that “ Li in London" is a production, at which the Grave must smile, the Gay feel de light, the Comical laugh heartily, and the Pathetic have occasion for a Wip In the perusal of it, the Modest will have no reason to turn aside with disgust nor the Moralist to shut the book offended. The Corinthians will find n reason to be ashamed to acknowledge "Tom" as one of their Party, nor will th large Family of the Hawthorns be disposed to disown poor "Jerry," for hi Rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis.
