Vanity Fair—Vanity Fair!Here was a man, who could not spell, and did not care to read—who had the habits and the cunning of a boor;whose aim in life was pettifogging;who never had a taste, or emotion, or enjoyment, but what was sordid and foul;and yet he had rank, andhonours, and power, somehow:and was a dignitary of the land, and a pillar of the state. He was high sherif, and rode in a golden coach.Great ministers and statesmen courted him;and in Vanity Fair he had a higher place than the most brilliant genius or spotless virtue.
