About This Item
This is a lovely, century and a half old copy of one of the classic works of literature.
Synopsis
Thackeray contributed regularly to Fraser's Magazine, Morning Chronicle, New Monthly Magazine and The Times. His writings attracted first attention in Punch, where he satirized English snobbery. These sketches reappeared in 1848 as The Book of Snobs, stating in it that "he who meanly admires mean things is a Snob."
