THE

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

BY

CORNELIUS WEBBE,

AUTHOR OF "GLANCES AT LIFE," ETC.

"Your counsel,' quoth Panurge, under your correction and favour, seemeth unto
me not unlike to the song of Gammer Yea-by-Nay. It is full of sarcasms, mockqueries,
bitter taunts, nipping bobs, derisive quips, biting jerks, and contradictory iterations, the
one part destroying the other.'" RABELAIS.

"I, too, am in love with this green Earth the face of Town and Country-the
unspeakable rural Solitudes, and the sweet security of Streets."

VOL. I.

LONDON:

HENRY COLBURN, PUBLISHER,

GREAT MARLBOROUGH STREET.

1838.
