ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Pierce Egan (1772â??1849) was a British journalist, sportswriter, and writer on popular culture. His popular book Life in London, published in 1821, was adapted into the stage play Tom and Jerry, or Life in London later that year, which became the first play to have a continuous run of 100 performances in London during its run at the Adelphi Theatre in the West End. Coining the term "the Sweet Science" as an epithet for prizefighting â?? which he dubbed "the Sweet Science of Bruising" as a description of Englandâ??s bare-knuckle fight scene, the first volume of his prizefighting articles, Boxiana; or Sketches of Ancient and Modern Pugilism, was published in 1813. In 1814, he wrote, set and printed a book about the relationship between the Prince Regent and Mary Robinson, called The Mistress of Royalty, or the Loves of Florizel and Perdita. However, he soon became known for his sporting work. Four volumes of Boxiana; or Sketches of Ancient and Modern Pugilism appeared, lavishly illustrated, between 1813 and 1824. Following a dispute with his publisher, Egan was replaced for the fourth Boxiana volume (replaced by "Jon Bee"), the court permitting Egan continued rights to the title provided he used the New Series prefix. Two volumes of Egan's New Series Boxiana were published in 1828/29. In 1821, Egan announced the publication of a regular journal: Life in London, appearing monthly at a shilling a time. It was to be illustrated by George Cruikshank (1792 to 1878), and was dedicated to the king, George IV, who at one time had received Egan at court. The first edition of Life in London or, the Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their rambles and sprees through the Metropolis appeared on 15 July 1821. Egan's creation was an instant success, and was an early favourite of Thackeray's. Pirate versions appeared, featuring such figures as "Bob Tallyho", "Dick Wildfire" and the like. Print-makers speedily knocked off cuts featuring the various "stars" and the real-life public flocked to the "sporting" addresses that Egan had his heroes frequent. There was a translation into French. At least six plays were based on Egan's characters, contributing to yet more sales. One of these was exported to America, launching the Tom and Jerry craze there. The version created by William Thomas Moncrieff was praised as The Beggar's Opera of its day. Moncrieff's production of Tom and Jerry, or Life in London ran continuously at the Adelphi Theatre for two seasons and it was the dramatist's work as much as the author's that did so much to popularise the book's trademark use of fashionable slang. Life in London appeared until 1828, when Egan closed it down." (Wikipedia) EXCERPT FROM THE CONTENTS: "Shewing the 'glorious uncertainty' of pleasing every class of society respecting a knowledge of life in London being essential towards the improvement of the junior branches of mankind; and although contrary to the established and sapient rules of the college of physicians, and the practice pursued by our learned friends in Westminster Hall, we are nevertheless anxious to give advice without a fee, in order to prove that, in all cases, whether connected with youth or more mature age, prevention is much better than cure: indeed, so anxious are we to set ourselves right with the public, as to our future inventions respecting this work, and that we may see our way clearly, and tread on the firmest ground, we feel inclined to adopt the Latin Proverb so often quoted by Bob Logic to the unsuspecting Jerry, on his first arrival in the metropolis: 'Incidit in Scyllam qui vult vitare Charybdim'. The necessity is absolute; or, rather, an apology is required for the introduction of the author and artist to the notice of the reader, previous to the second appearance of those heroes -- Corinthian Tom, Logic and Jerry, on the great theatre of the world! Por quoi? To vindicate the characters of the author and artist from the unmerited aspersion of having attempted, by the joint efforts of real tales, original anecdotes, and animated sketches, to demoralize the rising generation; and likewise to refute the charge of having turned the heads of older folks towards the commission of acts of folly and intemperance. Enough! To our task -- 'Hark! Forward's the world, see the game is in view!' and our exertions will b vigorously directed to establish, if possible 'tache sans tache,' our principal aim being to realize, to the utmost extent, the attractive motto -- 'Pro Bono Publico!' Proceed, my boy, nor heed their further call, Vain his attempts who strives to please you all!" Additional photos available upon request. Full refund if not satisfied.

He was born in the London suburbs, where he spent his life. By 1812 he had established himself as the country`s leading `reporter of sporting events`, which at the time meant mainly prize-fights and horse-races. The result of these reports, which won him a countrywide reputation for wit and sporting knowledge, appeared in the four volumes of Boxiana, or, Sketches of Modern Pugilism, which appeared, lavishly illustrated, between 1818-24. It was Egan who first defined boxing as the sweet science. In 1821 he announced the publication of a regular journal: Life in London, appearing monthly at a shilling a time. It was to be illustrated by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), who had succeeded the illustrators Hogarth and Rowlandson as London`s leading satirist of urban life. The journal was dedicated to the King, George IV, who at one time had received Egan at court. The first edition of Life in London or, the Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis appeared on 15 July, 1821. Egan`s creation was an enormous, instant success, with its circulation mounting every month. Pirate versions appeared, featuring such figures as `Bob Tallyho`, `Dick Wildfire` and the like. Print-makers speedily knocked off cuts featuring the various `stars` and the real-life public flocked to the `sporting` addresses that Egan had his heroes frequent. There was a translation into French. At least six plays were based on Egan`s characters, contributing to yet more sales. One of these was exported to America, launching the `Tom and Jerry` craze there. The version created by William Moncrieff (1794-1857) - one of contemporary London`s most successful dramatists and theatrical managers and a man whose knowledge of London and of its slang equalled Egan`s - was praised, not without justification, as `The Beggar`s Opera of its day`. Moncrieff`s production of Tom and Jerry, or, Life in London ran continuously at the Adelphi Theatre for two seasons and it was the dramatist`s work as much as the author`s that did so much to popularize the book`s trademark use of fashionable slang. >Life in London< appeared until 1828, when Egan closed it down. The publisher (and slang lexicographer) John Camden Hotten brought out a reprint in 1869, but the work had already established itself as a literary influence. The rip-roaring world it portrayed undoubtedly prefigures that of Dickens` Pickwick Papers (published just eight years after Tom and Jerry); Cruikshank`s illustrations, of course, helped both men with their success. Nor did `Tom and Jerry` vanish with Egan: the celebrated duo have been perpetuated in Warner Brothers` cartoon cat and mouse and as the male protagonists of BBC television`s Seventies` sitcom The Good Life.
