Sinopsis
Excerpt from The World of Cant
Most of the shops along the route were closed for ordinary business; the goods which the windows usually contained having been withdrawn in favour of reserved seats to view the procession, the large profits of which were another gratifying indication, especially to the trades men, of the popular enthusiasm. Grand stands were erected on all unoccupied plots of ground, the costs of which, and of suitable luncheons to favoured guests, were munificently defrayed by Boards of Works, Metropolitan Vestries, and other local bodies, who were thus able to indulge their personal loyalty at the expense of the ratepayers.

Excerpt from The World of Cant
The Mechanism of Pageantry. - Fashionable Prayer and Fashionable Shows. - Cant in Combination with Worldliness. - Extremes of Social Conditions. - Tom.
It was a dull morning in the early spring. The clouds lowered gloomily, and the wind, blowing from the north-east, swept coldly and cheerlessly through the London streets. But, notwithstanding the threatening weather and early hour, the citizens of our vast metropolis were already astir, and it needed but a glance at the decorated streets to tell that it was the dawn of a festive day. A court procession was to pass, and this fact was quite enough to bring British subjects from all parts to obtain a glimpse at royalty. No expense had been spared to make this "gracious entry" a consummate success. Decorations were gorgeous. Flags and banners of every colour, interspersed with brilliant pennants, embellished the streets. Numerous devices worked on crimson and yellow cloth were suspended from the windows. Festoons of flowers spanned the thoroughfares; and wherever four roads met pavilions were erected in their centres, resplendent with gildings, groups of statuary, and elaborate ornamentations. It was a loyal display, but the loyalty had been organized. Committees of householders had held numerous meetings, when large sums of money were subscribed to raise the necessary funds required for the stupendous panorama.

The author uses vivid characters and compelling storytelling to demonstrate cant's influence on relationships, institutions, and the pursuit of morality. Through thought-provoking insights and a broad thematic scope, this book sheds light on the complexities of human nature, contrasting genuine faith with religious pretense, authenticity with shallowness, and compassion with self-serving piety.
