THE COOKERY OF THE PHEASANT 265 



Sidney Smith to Canon Barham or Thomas Ingoldsby, 

 ' Many thanks, my dear sir, for your kind present of 

 game. If there is a pure and elevated pleasure in 

 this world it is that of roast pheasant and bread sauce; 

 barn-door fowls for dissenters, but for the real church- 

 man, the thirty-nine times articled clerk, the phea- 

 sant ! the pheasant ! '
