Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Falstaff's Letters
Repeat a criticism written by a friend on the above Letters. Not long after it appeared in the Examiner, the author who was its subject, died. His name was james White and many who knew nothing of him as a writer, will recollect being familiar with his name in the unromantic title Of an agent for newspapers. Not the least, indeed, of his Shakespeari'an qualities, was an indifference to fame. He was also, like his great in spirer, a gentleman. He was one among the many living writers who passed their boyhood in Christ's Hospital, where he held an office sometime after quitting it. We remember, as he passed through the clois ters, how we used to admire his handsome appearance, and unimprovable manner of wearing his new clothes.
