Description
Excerpt from The Smuggler: A Tale
After the tale had penetrated into the little village in which its first scenes are laid, a sanctified and tip sily-inclined butcher of the place ran, one day, after a stage-coach, on which was mounted an acquaintance of the writers'', and,.wroth at being pleased to suppose himself ''sketched by their pun, requested the person spoken of to inform us, that some time or other, he would hunt us from Dan to Beersheba. As to people of higher degree, it is known in the town from which we date these lines, that an honourable individual, who chose to see himself re?ected in an agreeable scamp of title in our poor Novel, talked even more awfully, though quite as. Harmlessly, as the field preaching Butcher Fell.
