HENRY MARQUESS OF WATERFORD: A NEW STATUE OF ACHILLES
Cast from Knockers taken in the vicinities of Sackville Street, Vigo Lane, and Waterloo Place.
The first hint of the long campaign against the Dukes of Bedford in connexion with "Mud Salad Market" occurs in February, 1844. The Dukes of Sutherland, Atholl, Norfolk and Buckingham all came under the lash. When Lord William Lennox's plagiarisms from Hood and Scott in his novel The Tuft-hunter were exposed, Punch printed this jingling epigram:—
A Duke once declared—and most solemnly too—
That whatever he liked with his own he would do;
But the son of a Duke has gone farther, and shown
He will do what he likes with what isn't his own!
