The fame of Daniel Lambert as a
rhnmplon among fat men lu England,
If not In thc world, Billi remains un'
rivaled. Daniel waa born at Lelcestot
in 1770 and died in 1800 at Staniford.
The grandson of a celebrated coek
Dghtcr and addicted to sport through
ont his life, his dimensions were not
extraordinary, and lils habits were not
different from those of other lad? un
til he was fourteen years old. Whop
twenty-three years of age, however, he
turned the scale at thirty-two stone,
and, although he ls recorded to have
been then p ?ie to walk from Woolwich
to London, nt the time of his dciUh, In
his fortieth year, lu had attained th?
prodigious weight of fifty-two stone, 01
728 pounds, and was more or less help
less. He was a modest man, and whet
he had achieved physical greatness
fame was thrust upon him. He wat
for a long time unwilling to be mach
a show of, but he gained a more than
local reputation, and people traveled
from far to see him, resorting to vari
ous devices in oi'der to be allowed lc
do so. At length the prospect of profil
overcame his resolution, and for font
years before lils deal li he exhibited
himself in London and in the prov
inces.
Ile was apparently a man of some
wit. for once, before he permitted thc
public to gaze upon him. an Inquisitive
(arson had gained access to his pr?s
ence by pretending t<? bo a fellow
sportsman Interested in Hie pedigree of
u inure, whereupon Laudiert promptly
replied, "She was bred by impertinence
out of Curiosity." lleforo tho days of
Daniel Lambert, Edward Bright of
Maillon was a well known fat man. al
though lils name no longer lingers as
a household word. He died In 17?0 at
thc age of thtrly years, weighing forty
two stone mid seven pounds, and is
