Blood royal enough, in short, to make black puddings, were all the swine in Christendom to fail. William Beckford to G. Clarke Lansdown. I beg that you will immediately take the enclosed to Mr. Beltz, for immediate correction, and at the same time inform Mr. Burke that I never intended, nor intend to enter, into any correspondence upon the subject. It was upon that sole condition (that I should not be bothered upon a subject I care little about), that any account of the Beckford family was furn...ished. . . . Mr. Beltz's account was a model of elegance ... It is now woefully vulgarized. The inaccuracy and bad taste of this vile mess are equally insufferable. William Beckford to G. Clarke Lansdown. Garnishing a dish with faded parsley is quite in the style of an a la mode beef eating house. . . . How vexed, how mortified, Mr. Beltz must have felt at the rank bungling ignorance of pretenders to heraldic knowledge I I never read anything more impertinently disgusting and flippant than the little note 1 enclosed to you, and which 280 WILLIAM BECKFORD the writer, in defiance of my regulations, took the liberty of addressing directly to me.
