Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works of Tim Bobbin, Esq.: Containing the View of the Lancashire Dialect, With Large Additions and Improvements; Also, His Poem of the Flying Dragon, and the Man of Heaton; Together With Other Whimsical Amusements in Prose and Verse; To Which Is Added a Life of the Author

Blessed with a clear masculine understanding, and a keen discernment into the humours and foibles of others, he knew how to make the best advantage of those occasional interviews, in order to promote trade as he was wont to call it, though his natural temper was very far from being of a mercenary cast it was often rather too free and generous; more so than prudence, with respect to his family, would advise, for he would sooner have had a lenten day or two at home than done a shabby and mean thing abroad.
