Dr Johnson went through this experience before he became the literary autocrat of the eighteenth century. So also did John Cassell when he came to London, with only a few pence in his pocket, not so very long before the founding of that printing and publishing house, still named after him, which ranks as one of the greatest establishments of the kind in the British Isles.
I have therefore tried it for more than thirty years. It has been a blessing to me, and has made me a blessing to others." How to cure the curse of drink, what to give in its place when the pleasures of the glass were taken away that was the problem which many have tried to solve. None more successfully than John Cassell. At a meeting in Exeter Hall he suddenly put a new view before his audience.
Although the favourite of everyone, he retained his unaffected simplicity of manner and character to the last. He died of consumption, in the house of Mr. Cassell, who had invited him there when he took ill, in order that he might be better attended to.
The Magazine of Art for 1890, published by CASSELL & Co., is one of the best of its kind for pictures and Art-articles, The Mixture as before. "Christmas is coming" but the Publishers seem to think that the Merry Old Gentleman will be here to-morrow. Yet we know the proverbial history of to-morrow.
The Song of Solomon and the book of Esther are the most interesting in the Old Testament, but these are the very ones that make the smallest pretensions to holiness, and even these are neither of them of very transcendent merit. They would stand no chance of being accepted by Messrs. Cassell and Co. or by any biblical publisher of the present day.
Fritz was strafing us pretty rough, just like he's doing now. The shells were playing leapfrog all through that orchard. "I was carrying on a conversation in our 'tap' code with Cassell at the other end.
Though John Cassell died comparatively young he was only forty-eight when his death took place in 1865 he had done a grand life's work; and the soundness of his judgment is shown by the fact that works which he planned retain their hold upon the people to this day. John Cassell had his ambitions, but they were of a very simple kind.
Well, if this happened, I was to send the dope to Cassell and he would transmit it to the Battery Commander as officially coming through the observation post. Then the battery would open up. Afterwards, during the investigation, Cassell would swear he received it direct.

Sometimes there were great disturbances at the meetings, sometimes he was pelted with rubbish, at times he did not know where to turn for a night's lodging. It was, on the whole, a fierce conflict; but John was nothing daunted. It is, of course, impossible to sum up the amount of a man's influence. John Cassell scattered the seed of temperance liberally.
