r FROM THE NEW YORK MERCURY
Ancient and Modern Humbugs of the world.
-----
BY P. T. BARNUM.
Definition of the word "Humbug"—War
ren, i,f London—G . enin,' the Batter—
Gosling's - Blacking.
When 1 come to sit down earnestly
to fulfil my engeienient with the publish
are of the Mercury, to write fur them a
aeries of articles upon the " Humbugs
of the world," I confess myself some
what puzzled in 'regard to the true defi
nition of the word. To be sure, Web
ster says that humbug, as a noun, is an
imposition under fair pretences, and a$ a
verb, is to "deceive; to impose on."--
W ith all due defference to Doctor Web
ster, I submit that, according to present
usage, this is not the only, nor even the
generally accepted definition of that
term.
. We will suppose for instance that a
man with "fair pretences ",applies to a
wholesale merchant for credit on a large
bill of goods. His "fair pretences" com
prehend an assertion that he is a moral
and religions than, a member of the
church, a man of wealth, etc. It turns
out that he is not worth a dollar, but
is a base lying wretch, an impostor and
a cheat. Ho is arrested and imprisoned
"for obtaining property under false pre
teuces" or, as Webster says, "fair pre
tences." He-is punished for his villiany.
The public de not call him a "humbug":
they very properly call him a swindler.
A man, beariug the appearance of a
gentleman in dress and manners, pur
chases property from you and with "fair
pretences" obtains your confidence.—
You find when he has left, that he !Mid
you with counterfeit bank notes, or a
forged draft. This man is . justly called
a forger, or counterfeiter, and if arrest
ed, he is, punished as such ;;but nobody
thinks of -calling him a.humbug.
A respectable looking man sits by
your side in an omnibus or railcar. He
converses fluently, and is
_evidently a
man of intelligence and reading. He
attracts your attention by his "fair pre
tences." Arriving at your journey's end
you miss your watch and yuur pocket
book. Your fellow pa,:senger proves
to be the thief. Everybody calls him a
pickpocket, and notwithstanding his
"fair pretences," not a person in the
community calls him a humbug."
Two actors appear as stars at two ri
val theatres. They are equally talented,
equally pleasing. One advertises him
self simply as a tragedian, under his pro
per name- 7 -0e other boasts that he is a
prince, and wears decorations presented
by all the potentates of the world, in
cluding the "King of the Cannibal Is
lands." He is correctly set down as a
"humbug," while this term is never ap.
plied to the other actor. But if the man
Who boasts of having received a for4igu
title is aMiserable actor, end 'he gets-up
giftenterprisesand bogus entertainments
or pretends to devote the proceeds of
his tragic efforts to some charitable ob
ject, without, in fact, doing so=he is
then e, humbug in the offensive sense of
that word, for he is an ,impostor trader
fair pretences.
'l'wo physicians reside in one of our
fashionable avenues. They were both
educated in the best medical colleges
each has pissed an examination, receiv
ed his diploina,and been dubbed an M.D.
They are equally skilled in the healing
art. One rides quietly about the city in
his gig or brougham, visiting his patients
without noise or clamor—the other-sal
lies out in his coach and four, preceeci4d
by a baud of music, and his carriage and
horses are covered with handbills and
and placards, announcing his "w'onderful
cures." This man is properlY called a
quack and a humbug. Why? Not be
cruse be cheats or imposes upon the pub
he, for be does not, but b4cause, as gen
erally understood, "hutn,ug" consists in
putting on glittering appearances—out
side show—novel expectients, by which
to suddenly arrest publitc attention, and
attract the public eye ald ear.
Clergymen, lawyers arid physicians,
who should resort to sulph methddi of
attracting the public, wonlld not, for ob.
vious reasons, be apt to sui?ceed. Bank
ers, insurance agents andthers who-as
pire to become the custodi ns of the mo
ney of their fellow.men, w nld require a
different species of adverti s ing from this;
but their are various trades and oCcupa
tions which need only notor 'ety to insure
success, always provided th t when cus
tomers are once attracted they neier,
f a il k in get their money's- firth. An
honest maw who thus arrest iodine at
tention 1 •.*
he is 119 t
however'
tomers
foolishly fails to give them a full equiv
alent for their money, they never patron
ize him a second time, but they very
properly denounce him as a swindler,
,cheat,and impostor. They do not, how
ever, call him, a " hnnibug." Lie fails,
not because he adrerti es his ; wares in
an.outre manner,, but :because, after at
tracting crowds of patrons, he stupidly
and wickedly cheated them.
When the great 'Blacking-maker of .
London dispatched his agent to Egypt
to write his name on the pyrainids of
Ghizn, in huge letters, " Buy Warren's
Blacking, 30 ! Strand, London," he was
not "cheating" travelers upon the 'Nile.
Ills blacking was really a superior arti
cle, and well worth the price charged for
it, but he was "humbugging" the public
by this queer way of arresting attention.
It turned out just, as he had anticipated,
that English travelerti in that part of
Egypt were indignant at this desecration
and wrote' batk to the' London Tinies
(every Englishman writes or theestens
to "write to the London Tittles," if any:
thing goes wrong),denounoing the'Goth' .
who had thus, difigured these ancient py
ramids by writing on them in monstrous
letters: "Buy Warren's Blacking, 30.
Strand, London." The Times published
these letters and backed them up by
several of those awfully grand and dic
tatorial editorials peculiar to the great
*"l'hunderer," in which the blacking ma.
" Warren, 30 Strand," stigmatized
as a man who had no respect for the an
cient patriardhs, and it was hinted that
he would probably not hesitate to sell
his blacking on the sarcophagus of Pha
raoh, or any other":—mumtny, if he only
could make money' by it. In fact, to cap
the climax, Warren was denounced as
a " humbug." These indignant articles
were copied into all the Provincial jour
nals, and very soon, in this manner, the
columns of every newspaper in Great
Britain were teeming with this advice :
" Try. 'Warren's Blacking, 30 Strand,
London." The curiosity of the public
was thus aroused, and they did "try" it,
and, finding it a superior article, they
continued to purchase it and recommend
it to their friends, and Warren made a
fortune by it. lie always attributed
his success to his having " humbugged
the public by this unique method' of ad
vertising his blacking in Egypt! But
Warren did net cheat his customers, nor
practice "eh iMpositiOn under fair pre
tences." He was a charlatan,'a hum
bug, but he was an honest upright man,
and.no one called him an impostor or a
cheat.-
LELI
When the tickets for Jenny Lind's
first concert in America were sold• at
auction, several business men, aspiring
to .notoriety, "bid high" for the first
ticket. It was filially knocked down to
"tiepin. the Hatter," for $225. The
journals in Portland (Maine) and lions,
ton (Texas), and all other journals
throughout the United States, between,
these two cities, which were , connected
with the tel.graph, announced the,fact
in their coluutos the next morning.
Probably two millions of readers read
the announcement, and asked, "Who is
Genin, the Hatter?"' •Genin beettme fa

by Genii]; and an lowa editor declared
'that One of' bis'neighbers discovered the
"Came (3t . Genin in his old hat; and-imme
diately announced the fact to hiS neigh
bors in front of the Post Office. It was
suggested that the old hat should be
sold at.auction. It was done then and
there, arid, the Genic' hat sold for four
teen dollars!. Gentlemen from city and
country rushed to Genin's store to buy
their hats, many of them willing to pay
even an .extra dollar, if necessary, pro
vided they could get a glimpse of Genii]
himself. This singular freak' put thong
ands of dollareinto the pocket Of "Genin,

charged that he made poor'hate, or that
he would , be guilty of an "imposition'un

he is a gentleman, of probity, and:or the
first respectability. . .
When the layingof thel.Ltlantic,

Liverpool. I offered the Company one
thousand pounds sterling ($5,000) for
the privilege of sending the first twenty

hend my doctrine, that a utan may, by
common wattage, be termed a "humbug''
without by any means impeaching his
integrity.
Spsaking of .'lolacking makers" re
minds me that one of the first sensatiou
alists in advertising whom I remember
to have seen, was Mr, Lemiard Gosling s ,
known as -Mousieur Gosling, the great'
French Blacking-maker." He appear
ed in New York r. 1830. lie flashed
like a meteor across the horizon ; and
before he had been in the city three
months„nearly everybody had heard of ,
':Gosling's Blacking" . I tvell remember
his magnificient "four io hand." A
splendid team of blood bays, with long
black tails, and managed with such dex
terity by Gosling. himself, who was a
great "whip," that they almost seemed
to fly. The carriage, was ,emblazoned
witl, the words "Gosling's Blacking," in
large gold letters, and, the whole turnout
was so elaborately ornamented and be
diziened that everybody stopped an 4
gazed with wondering admiration. A
bugle player or a band of music always
accompanied the great Gosling, and, of
course, helped to attract the Public at
tention to" his . establishment..At
turning of every street'corner your eyes
rested upon "Gosling's Blacking."
From every show-window gilded placards
discoursed eloquently . of the merits of
"Gosling's Blacking." The newspapers
teemed with poems written in its praise.
and showers of pictorial handbills, illus
trated almanacs, and tinseled souvenirs,
all lauding the virtues of "Gosling's
Blackings" smothered you at every point.
The celebrated orisinator of negro
delineations, -Jim Crow Rice." made
his first uppearanomat Hamblin's Bow
ery Theatre at about this time. The
crowds Which thronged there were so
great that-hundreds from the audience
were frequently admitted upon the'stage.
In one of his sm.nes,"Rice introduced a
negro boot-blacking estaldislitnent.
Gosling was too "wide awake" to let
such an opportunity pass unimprned,
and Rice was paid ror singing an--origi
nal blask-Gosliog ditty, while a score of
phs'curds beariug the inscription, ",Use
Gosling's Blacking,' were suspended at
different points in this negro boat polish
ing ball.. Etier.) body tried "Goslieg's
Blacking''; and as it was a really good
article, i
his sales n .City and country
soon became immense. Gosling made
a fortune in seven years, and retired
but, likethousauds before him, it was
"easy come , easy go." He engaged in a
lead mining speculation. and it was gen
erally understood that his fortune was,
in a great measure, lost as rapidly al it
was made.

serve that one of the mostilitilmili things
in life is for men to bear'disdreetl and

time and labor i are devoted to ea,ruing
