Release Date: May, 1997 This was a fresh-coloured young gentleman, with as good a promise of light whisker as one might wish to see, and possessed of a very velvet-like, soft-looking countenance. We do not use the latter term invidiously, but merely to denote a pair of smooth, plump, highly-coloured cheeks of capacious dimensions, and a mouth rather remarkable for the fresh hue of the lips than for any marked or striking expression it presented.

Reviews about Sketches of Young Gentlemen (2):
Sagda
Few readers seem to realize that the venerated Charles Dickens also wrote puerile satire pieces for his own entertainment. The Sketches books (young gentlemen, young ladies, young couples) are in this vein, with some more entertaining than others.

Sketches of Young Gentlemen is probably accurate to a fault, but that jokes are a little lost on modern readers. Best enjoyed by BBC Classics fans, historians, and anyone who likes social commentary of yore, this book is a short read and generally entertaining.

The formatting of this free ebook is quite good and should pose no problems.
Leniga
This is written tongue in cheek. Supposedly, Dickens describes the attributes of various types of young men, for the edification of young women. It's very, very dated in the descriptions, and some of it simply doesn't pertain to our times. But as a period piece, it's priceless. Quite an insight into former values of a bygone age.
