The fume of Daniel Lambert ao a ehuinplon among fat men in longland, If not tu the world, stIU ream tm un rivaled. Daniel was horn at Leicester lu 1770 and died In 1800. at Stamford. The grandson of a celebrated cock* lighter and addicted to snort through* out lits life, hts dimension? were m#l extraordinary, and lils habits were liol different from thoBe of other lads un til ho was fourteen years old, When twenty-three years of age, however, he turned the seale at thirty-two ?tone, and, although li? ls recorded to have boen thou able to walk from Woolw iel to London, at the time of his doiifch, li. ids fortieth year, he lind attained tin prodigious wolghjt of fifty-two stone, or 728 pounds, and was moro or loss help loss. Hi was a modest man, and when ho had achieved physical greatness fame wne thrust upon him. Ho was for a long time unwilling to be made a ?how of, but lie gained a moro t li ii ii local reputation, and people traveled from far to see him, resorting to vari ous devices in order to be allowed to do so. At length the prospect of profit overcame ids resolution, and for four years before his death lie exhibited himself in London and in the prov inces. Ho was apparently a man of some Wit, for once, before lie permitted the public to gaze upon him, un inquisitive person had gained access to lils pres ence hy pretending to be n fellow sportsman interested in thc pedigree of a mare, whereupon Lambert promptly replied, "She was bred by Impertinence out of Curiosity." Ilefoi'o thc days of Daniel Lambert, Edward bright of Malden was a well known fat man, al though his name no longer lingers as a household word. Ile died in 1750 at the age of thirty years, weighing forty two stone and seven pounds, und ls stated to have been un activo man till a year or two before lils death, when his corpulency so overpowered lits strength that his life was u burden and hts deutti a deliverance, Roth Height and Lambert seem to have been genial, good humored fellows and very popular among those who visited then?. In deed popularity seems to be the lot of the corpulent In fact as well as In no tion. Tile heroes of iictlon, however, have tlie ndvantage lu the matter of lasting glory, and the names of Daniel Lambert and the fat boy of Peckham sink into Insignificance beside those of Falstaff und the fut boy In "Pickwick." -London Standard.
