Book Description
Excerpt from Turf Celebrities: I Have Known Although this book is not intended to instruct the learned, or to formulate rules for the benefit of those that are anxious to attain literary greatness, yet I believe the novelty of the matter which it contains, and the truthfulness of its delineation, will not be unattractive to the general reader. In this short history of manners and men, I shall endeavour to deal impartially and fully with all, neither fearing the resentment of those whose deeds I stigmatize as unworthy of the character and dignity of gentlemen, nor pandering to the faults of the class socially beneath them.
