Book excerpt: Excerpt from Friends of Bohemia, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Phases of London Life "I Suppose that most men who address the public aspire to some slight influence on opinion - the propagation of something, whether humorously urged or not, which is to contribute its drop to the dissemination of truth among mankind. I have shown how the true satirist contributes his share to that, and how he may hope that his laughter will not die away along with the cachinnations of merry-andrews." "A wag of that period, who was also a screw, once exclaimed while he was eating oysters, 'What grand things oysters would be if one could make one's servants live on the shells.' They achieved that in government; for the parties got the oysters and the people got the shells." - James Hannay's "Satire and Satirists."
