Excerpt from Love and Laughter: Being a Legacy of Rhyme
Sentatives are Thomas Hood and Winthrop Mackworth Praed. His characteristic literary manner was waggish, sprightly, sometimes gently satirical, but mostly home-like and prone to domestic themes. His fancy was moved by the thought of a pretty face, by a sense of the frolicsome propensities and whimsicalities of youth, by innocent feminine absurdities, by the contrast - always striking -between life's realities and youth's romantic illusions, and by natural beauty. He was, in personality, honora able, chivalrous, buoyant, gleeful, affectionate, and gen tle; he lived with simplicity and died with composure; and this book,-in which every trait is genial and every thought is pure, and of which the style is happy with vivacious feeling and verbal grace, - will commend itself.
