Note 10 — BIOGRAPHY GONE MAD.

Reading edition

Of the printing-office and editorial rooms Mr Parton gives a minute account, not failing to give us the names and describe the personal attractions of all the leading officials, including the distinguished foreman, Mr T. Rooker, who warns “gentlemen desiring to wash and soak their distributing matter,” to use the “metal galleys” he has cast for that purpose! “It took the world,” says Mr P., “an unknown number of thousand years to arrive at that word Gentlemen.” What a pity that some smart man does not write a little book on “The Flunkeyism of Democracy.”

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
