Table of Contents Previous Chapter Next Chapter WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY The Ballad of Bouillabaisse A STREET there is in Paris famous, For which no rhyme our language yields, The New Street of the Little Fields; But still in comfortable case; The which in youth I oft attended, To eat a bowl of Bouillabaisse. A sort of soup or broth, or brew, Or hotchpotch, of all sorts of fishes, That Greenwich never could outdo; Green herbs, red peppers, mussels, saffern, Soles, onions, garlic, roach, and dace; In that one dish of Bouillabaisse. And true philosophers, methinks, Who love all sorts of natural beauties, Should love good victuals and good drinks. And Cordelier or Benedictine Might gladly, sure, his lot embrace, Nor find a fast-day too afflicting Which served him up a Bouillabaisse. I wonder if the house still there is? Yes, here the lamp is, as before; Still opening oysters at the door. I recollect his droll grimace; And hope you liked your Bouillabaisse. The table still is in the nook; This well-known chair since last I took.

In 1851 Thackeray delivered a series of lectures at Willis's Rooms, and re-delivered them in the United States during the years 1852 and 1853.

He deals effortlessly and entertainingly with the lights of the 18th century: Swift; Congreve; Addison; Steele; Prior; Gay; Pope; Hogarth; Smollett; Fielding; Sterne; and Goldsmith.

William Makepeace Thackeray English Author The following excerpt was read by Dickens's literary rival, William Makepeace Thackeray, in New York City in 1852 and repeated by enterprising Chicago Fellowship member Jim Forsell in February 1996 at a Fellowship meeting honoring the birth of the Inimitable. This generous tribute to Dickens, at the time of the greatest rivalry between him and Thackeray, has been much admired and often quoted to Thackeray's credit. "There are creations of Mr. Dickens which seem to me to rank as personal benefits, figures so delightful, that one feels happier and better for knowing them, as one does for being brought into the society of very good men and women. The atmosphere in which these people live is wholesome to breathe in; you feel that to be allowed to speak to them is a personal kindness; you come away better for your contact with them; your hands seem cleaner from having the privilege of shaking theirs. "Was there ever a better charity sermon preached in the world than Dickens's Christmas Carol?

His initial publications in The Paris Sketchbook were considered a failure (and written under pseudonyms).
