Exalted is the name, shouted from the rooftops, of the natural philosopher who sets his peers’ cobwebbed doctrines aflame with the fruits of his abstruse efforts, the heating of retorts and the distillation of vapours.
But woe is the name, shouted from windows flung open, of the incorrigible tenant, of the insufferable co-lodger, who sets his landlady’s curtains, and his companion’s Clark Russell, afire with the sparks of wick’d and wicked burners, condemning all to a collective fit of the vapours.
