What Billingsgate Thought is a book written by William Alexander Newman Dorland in 1919. The book is a collection of essays that offer the perspective of a country gentleman on the topic of snobbery. Dorland's writing style is witty and insightful, as he explores the different forms of snobbery that exist in society, from the traditional class-based snobbery to the more subtle forms of intellectual and cultural snobbery. The essays are written in a conversational tone, making the book an enjoyable and accessible read. Throughout the book, Dorland challenges the reader to examine their own attitudes towards snobbery and encourages them to embrace a more egalitarian perspective. What Billingsgate Thought is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the social attitudes of the early 20th century, and remains relevant today as a commentary on the enduring problem of snobbery in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
