Excerpt from Specimens of Douglas Jerrold's Wit: Together With Selections, Chiefly From His Contributions to Journals, Intended to Illustrate His Opinions Monthly Magazine, more than twenty years ago, under the nom -de plume of Henry Browmigg, ln eluding Papers of a Gentleman at-arms, have been carefully examined, that the present volume might be made worthier of the author's reputa tion. But the book includes, after all, only a scanty proportion of the witticisms which belong to Douglas Jerrold, and which find their way to every place where the English language is spoken. This is the more to be regretted since it is indis putable that Douglas Jerrold did not write his best jokes. He cast them forth, in the course of con versation, and forgot them as soon as they were launched. Often when reminded, on the morrow of a party, of some good thing he had said, he would turn, in surprise, upon his informant, and ask, Did I really say that?
