In Fuller’s words

“How curious it is, when one takes up a little bit of society (as a geologist crumbles and twists a bit of earth in his hand to ascertain its character and quality) to look into the motives and manouevorings of all the persons connected with it … Sayings and Doings / Second Series.”

“The journey of Mr. “Titmarsh,” though amusing enough, is too flippant in its fun—too much in the Theodore Hook style, to suit our fancy.”
