SKETCHES OF YOUNG GENTLEMEN
contemptible; unless you can supply the loss of youth and beauty with
more durable qualities。 You have but a very few years to be young and
handsome in the eyes of the world; and as few months to be so in the eyes
of a husband who is not a fool; for I hope you do not still dream of charms
and raptures; which marriage ever did; and ever will; put a sudden end to。'
From the anxiety we express for the proper behaviour of the fortunate
lady after marriage; it may possibly be inferred that the young gentleman
to whom we have so delicately alluded; is no other than ourself。 Without
in any way committing ourself upon this point; we have merely to observe;
that we are ready to receive sealed offers containing a full specification of
age; temper; appearance; and condition; but we beg it to be distinctly
understood that we do not pledge ourself to accept the highest bidder。
These offers may be forwarded to the Publishers; Messrs。 Chapman
and Hall; London; to whom all pieces of plate and other testimonials of
approbation from the young ladies generally; are respectfully requested to
be addressed。
