Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Douglas Jerrold, Vol. 4: With an Introductory Memoir by His Son, W. Blanchard Jerrold
And let the truth be said. Mr. Jericho was persecuted by the natural growth of his own falsehood. If at home he sat upon thorns, from his own tongue had dropt the seed that produced the punishment. In early times he had sown, broad cast, notions of his abounding wealth; and the pleasant lies, as lies will do, had come up prickles. They grew thick in his daily path. Scarcely could he set foot forth without treading upon them.
