Printed for the Society of Vice, The Pearl, Vol. 1 — The Rival Toasts (July 1879)
“ An English and an American vessel of war being in port together, Captain Balls, of the former, invited the officers of the Yankee frigate to dine in board of his ship, but stipulated, in order to avoid any unpleasantness, that no offensive or personal toasts should be proposed, to which the Americans cheerfully assented. ”
