These lads, I believe, are a product of modern society, at least, no older than the time of Gay, who celebrates their origin in his "Trivia"; but in most other respects the scene reminded me of Bunyan's description of Vanity Fair, nor is it at all improbable that the Pilgrim may have been a merry-maker here, in his wild youth.
My brother John has an exhibition granted him from the school. My father and I went down to his kitchen, and there we eat and drank, and about 9 o'clock I went away homewards, and in Fleet Street, received a great jostle from a man that had a mind to take the wall, which I could not help?

"Thou, Trivia, goddess, aid my song: Through spacious streets conduct thy bard along." Gay's Trivia, or New Art of Walking Streets of London. L'oiseau Bleu What is it, I have more than once asked myself, what is it that I am looking for in my walks about London? Sometimes it seems to me as if I were following a Bird, a bright Bird that sings sweetly as it floats about from one place to another.
In another moment I had singled out, like an inspiration, from a long file of those ministrants of our Trivia, the cab of the lightest shape and with the strongest horse, and was on my way, not to my mother's, but to Dr. M H , Manchester Square, whom I knew as the medical adviser to the Trevanions.
