From The Gentleman's Art of Dressing with Economy, by A Lounger at the Clubs. London, 1876.

In honor of this Gentleman, now long deceased, I would raise my glass of the best whiskey money could buy and make a memorial toast to "A Lounger at the Clubs", may he rest in peace.

I do feel indebted to Mr. Leighton for finding and sharing this gem with us all.
