Samuel O. Beeton, a well-known publisher and editor of the 19th century, passed away in 1861. Yesterday I happened to be looking through early copies of Beeton's Christmas Annual and came across a long elegy of the man, praising him above all others and placing him on a pedestal at least twenty miles high. Sadly for Mr. Beeton's memory though, this was the title:
IN MEMORIAM
S.O.B.
Oh. well...
