Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Hansom Lays, Original Verses, Imitations, and Present Paraphrases
Few sights are gloomier or more depressing than those contemplated by the tenant of a Hansom, while traversing the highways and by-ways of this huge metro polis between the hours oftwo and three a.m. To a man just arisen from work that has kept his wits on the gui cz've throughout its performance, the rattling and jolting ofa cab render sleep, during such a traject, impossible. Neither can he, with any appreciable comfort or profit to himself, read by fitful gleams of gaslight, such as are intermittently shed upon him by the London street-lamp.
